Aluminum powder coloriMeter

The aluminum powder colorimeter detects the color consistency of aluminum powder coatings by measuring the tristimulus values of the reflected light from the surface of aluminum powder pigments and calculating the chromaticity coordinates and color difference values. This instrument is used in the paint and ink industries for aluminum powder color quality control in both production sites and laboratories.
Selection
When selecting a colorimeter for aluminum powder, it is essential to consider the metallic gloss characteristics of aluminum powder particles, and choose an optical measurement structure that includes specular reflection components. Pay attention to the instrument's measurement repeatability for metallic pigments, ensure the measurement aperture is suitable for the samples, and verify that the accompanying color management software meets the requirements for evaluating aluminum powder color.
