The Mission: The latest knowledge on the colour technology underpinning coatings in a single book – from the fundamentals of colour perception, to colour measurement and colour-order systems, through to the characterisation and practical application of pigments. The book serves as a vehicle for acquiring a solid grounding in the key principles underpinning the application of colour technology to coatings. Indispensable for coatings experts and those with aspirations in that direction.
The Audience: Trainees, students and newcomers to the profession who are seeking to acquire a solid grounding in colour technology, as well as experts wishing to deepen, extend or refresh their knowledge.
The Value: This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art survey of relevant industrial colour applications and explains the various physical physiological aspects of pigment optics. Colour problems discussed in this book include the optics and chemistry of solid-colour and effect pigments, colorant formulation, optical microscopy of effect colour shades for pigment identification, methods of elementary and advanced colorimetry, measurement and visual assessment of solid and effect colour shades, colour tolerances and acceptability, and colour-order systems. There is also a special chapter devoted to the newly emerging area of visual texture assessment of effect colour shades.
Was ist Metamerie? Wie erhält man anhand der Farbvorlage die Rezeptur? Was genau sagt die Kubelka-Munk-Theorie aus? Das Buch zur erfolgreichen Seminarreihe „Coloristik" liefert nun den aktuellen Wissensstand der Themengebiete Farbmetrik, Farbmessung und Farbanalyse erstmals in einem Werk. Oberstes Ziel ist neben der Praxisorientierung eine anschauliche und verständliche Darstellung der Lehrinhalte. Darüber hinaus werden aktuelle Themen wie z.B. die neuesten Entwicklungen bei den Effektpigmenten und deren Messung behandelt.
