- Coil Coatings
- Adhesives and Sealants
- Wood Preservatives & Coatings
- Aerospace Coatings
- Marine Coatings & Gel Coats
For industrial paint and coatings, color impacts more than just aesthetics. X-Rite’s color measurement solutions can help you achieve accurate and consistent color, time after time.
Customizable solutions from X-Rite provide industrial paint and coatings manufacturers the ability to:
- Deliver initial color matches with an average delta E that is half that of our competitors
- Confirm color is within tolerance with highly-accurate color measurement instrumentation
- Identify and correct variances early-on to minimize waste and rework
- Maintain 100% control on your moving production line with inline color measurement systems that measure color and gloss without contact
- Ensure all devices are measuring accurately and consistently across a global supply chain
Quality Control for Industrial Paints & Coatings:
A dependable quality control program streamlines approval processes and reduces color inconsistencies. X-Rite’s quality control solutions are the tools you need to communicate, control, and evaluate color.
-
Ci64 Sphere Handheld Spectrophotometer: Carry this device anywhere to ensure color quality on shiny, glossy and reflective coated surfaces.
-
MA-5 QC Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer: Evaluate special effect paint and coatings and identify color defects early in the process to avoid unnecessary rework.
-
MetaVue VS3200 Non-Contact Benchtop: Take accurate color measurements on liquid coatings without contaminating the instrument or sample.
Formulation for Industrial Paint & Coatings:
Reacting quickly to trends with new color palettes requires a dependable formulation program. X-Rite’s color formulation solutions reduce the steps to an acceptable color match, manage recipes and specifications, and provide consistent color reproduction.
-
Ci7800 Benchtop Spectrophotometer: Ensure a precise measurement using the on-board camera for preview and active targeting.
-
Color iMatch Software: Maximize formulation efficiency to better characterize colorants and guarantee match prediction confidence.
Inline Color Measurement for Coil Coatings:
Maintaining on-spec color throughout production requires an inline closed-loop color control solution that monitors color and gloss on the production line and through final QC. X-Rite’s comprehensive solution ensures faster start-up with streamlined production and provides the data necessary to track production quality and results.
-
ERX145 Spectrophotometer: Used in the lab to measure standards and mounted on a traversing beam on the production line to measure color across the entire width of the coil and identify color variances early and reduce wasted product.
-
GlossFlash 6060 Inline Gloss Meter: Mounted alongside the ERX145 on the line to verify gloss values remain consistent with customer specifications throughout production.
-
ESWin Closed Loop Color Control Software: Easily control measurement devices and monitor color and gloss throughout production to keep color in tolerance and identify areas for improvement.
