Spectrophotometers for Metallic Colors – BYK-mac i 23 mm

Description Spectrophotometer for total color control of effect finishes Effect finishes change their appearance with viewing angle and lighting conditions. The BYK-mac i spectrophotometer is unique as it measures multi-angle color as well as sparkle and graininess for total color matching in one portable device. Additionally, it detects and quantifies fluorescent light in the visible range. The BYK-mac i spectrophotometer provides superior accuracy and low maintenance for many years due to a long-term stable light source and patented illumination control. International Standards ASTM D 2244, E 308, E 1164, E 2194 DIN 5033, 5036, 6174, 6175-2 DIN EN ISO 11664 SAE J 1545 Total color impression of effect coatings Measuring area: 23 mm diameter Total color impression: – 5-angle color measurement for light/dark travel evaluation 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110° – Additional color measurement behind the gloss for color flop analysis: -15° – Sparkle and graininess measurement for flake characterization Detection and quantification of fluorescent light excited in the visible range; Intensity Emission Value Excellent agreement between instruments allowing usage of digital standards among the supply chain Stable, long-term calibration – needed only every three months Temperature independent results between 10 – 40° C – without calibration Stable positioning due to 4 trigger pins on bottom plate – operator influence minimized 10 year warranty on LED light source – no lamp changes needed Operated by a rechargeable battery pack – good for 1,000 readings Menu guided operation according to your own sampling procedure Pass/Fail results displayed on the instrument for instant feed back of color performance at the production line Professional data documentation and analysis with smart-chart software Specifications (PDF) Download
