SLF Congress 2025 2025年9月23日 ～ 25日
Join X-Rite Pantone at the SLF Congress 2025, a focused gathering of paint and coatings professionals. This technical congress brings together industry experts to discuss megatrends, sustainability, and innovation in coatings formulation and production.
Join the Conversation at the SLF Congress with X-Rite Pantone
The paint and coatings industry faces growing pressure to innovate in response to sustainability goals, regulatory demands, and rising customer expectations.
X-Rite introduces an innovative solution: a digitalized color management workflow using material twins based on real colors and surface appearances. This approach streamlines formulation and supports faster, more efficient product launches.
For industrial coating lines, inline color control ensures batch-to-batch consistency of coated materials aligned with approved color. Join us to explore how this solution minimizes waste and ensures the realization of your vision with precision and efficiency:
• Accelerate approval processes and reduce the number of physical sampling cycles with virtual prototypes based on real color and texture. Learn what is AxF and how it can be leveraged across the supply chain to streamline communication of complex materials- How designers can leverage AxF and X-Rite's Appearance Solutions to create photorealistic digital materials they can leverage within their 3D renderings or prototypes
- How suppliers can create digital material libraries for their customers to streamline the material selection process
- How suppliers can streamline approvals by utilizing the same measurement device used to create the digital material to submit measurements for remote visual and metric approval
- Accurate and fast color formulation for complex and effect colors
- Reduce manufacturing waste and rework, shorten transition times, and help operators respond to color changes more quickly with inline color monitoring throughout production.
When: September 23-25
Where: Hotel Radisson Blu Seaside, Helsinki, Finland
Lecture on paint & coatings megatrends presented by Kevin Dainton, Application Engineer, on September 24 at 4 PM.
Featured Solutions for Formulation:
- Color iMatch Software delivers unrivaled match performance, reduces wasteful formulation attempts, and improves job productivity with automation features.
- The Ci7860 sphere benchtop spectrophotometer offers best-in-class inter-instrument agreement and repeatability for the most consistent and accurate results.
- The Ci64 handheld spectrophotometer is a high-end quality control solution ideal for use in the lab, field, and manufacturing plant. It ensures color quality on shiny, glossy and reflective coated surfaces.
- The CiF3200 Imaging Benchtop Spectrophotometer is ideal for quality control on small, odd-shaped, or multi-colored items, including highly reflective samples, with a minimum measurement area of just 2mm.
- Color iQC monitors color from specification through material suppliers, manufacturing, and assembly and offers tools to help automate color control at every step.
- The MetaVue VS3200 is a non-contact spectrophotometer that uses digital on-screen targeting and aperture sizes ranging from 2mm to 12mm. It takes accurate color measurements on liquid coatings without contaminating the instrument or sample.
- The MA-5 QC is a multi-angle spectrophotometer that accurately evaluates metallic colors and special effect finishes with five standard measurement angles.
Featured Solutions for Inline Color Measurement:
- The ERX145 is an inline measurement spectrophotometer that takes 45°:0° measurements and features a 60 mm measurement distance and 30 mm measurement spot to measure coil coating in the lab or on the production line, without contact.
- ESWin Closed Loop Color Control Software easily controls measurement devices and monitors color and gloss throughout production to keep color in tolerance and identify areas for improvement.
Featured Solutions for Visual Assessment:
- The Judge LED light booth offers precise color evaluations with seven customizable light sources, ensuring consistent performance for the coatings industry.
