Hiding power

Hiding power refers to the ability of a coating or ink to conceal the color of the substrate. The principle involves pigment particles scattering and absorbing light, thereby reducing light transmission. Its function is to ensure uniform coverage of the coating and prevent the substrate color from showing through. It is applied in the production of coatings, inks, and plastics to evaluate the coverage effect of products and ensure visual consistency.
