December 2020

We have waited a long time and finally the time has arrived. Cheerful music playing everywhere. The air is filled with a luscious aroma of cinnamon and vanilla. Snowflakes descending gentle and soft towards the earth. Fragile and delicate alone. Gathered together they celebrate a festivity of love and joy. Christmas is around the corner! Decorate the Christmas tree with our new formulation of the month... and make your "Christmas Wish"!

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.
