April 2020

The long cold winter is melting away and the first warm sunlight appears. New life has come to the fields and woods. As fresh as the morning dew, as green as natures view. Birds chirp, flowers sprout, and our beautiful world awakes. Springtime is finally here and as fresh and natural as our effect pigment of the month Joy of Spring. Experience with us the awakening of nature with our new effect coating formulation!

Pigmentation

The PWC (Pigment Weight Concentration) in the dry film is indicated for each styling

PWC = p / (p + b)

p = total weight pigments (solid)

b = weight binder (solid)

In the dry state: Pigment / binder ratio = (Σ Pigment) / (Total solid content (wet form) – (Σ Pigment)) 

Feasibility for on-line application

The stylings in our color inspirations are intended to demonstrate future effect color directions and possibilities. Although we have tried to make the formulations as realistic as possible, we cannot guarantee their full feasibility for on-line application. A certain degree of modification and fine tuning will probably be necessary.
