February 2021

The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner. Red New Year scrolls and decorations have been hung in front of the houses. Red lighted lanterns in the yard, the smell of food and the sound of merry laughter announce the most beautiful time of the year. Families are sitting and eating together and share their stories. This is a real reunion for Chinese families. This is the Chinese New Year celebration. Our latest formulation of the month will take you to China to enjoy the happiest time of the year.

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.
