Color measurement of solid and powdered chemical products
Powdered chemicals are used in numerous industries such as the coatings, food, building materials, pharmaceuticals, plastics, cosmetics and detergents industries, to name but a few. Yellowness (Yellowness Index YI), whiteness (Whiteness Index WI), color fastness and also UV resistance, e.g. of pigments and fillers, flakes for paints, superabsorbents, granulates, resins and powder coatings are tested.
The world’s leading chemical manufacturers rely on HunterLab solutions to ensure the quality and consistency of finished products and raw materials throughout their supply chains with accurate and repeatable measurement results.

Application example:
Precise color measurement of chemical powders In the chemical industry, color is much more than just an optical feature - it is a decisive quality factor. With powders, catalysts and additives in particular, even a minimal color deviation can indicate differences in purity, composition or process control. Objective and reproducible color measurement therefore provides important information for quality assurance, product development and process control. Why color is so crucial in chemical powders Powdered chemicals are used in numerous applications - from pigments, fertilizers, binders and fillers to additives for plastics or coatings. Their color often provides information about: Purity...
