Colour Measurement for Sealants and Adhesives

As specification and control of the colour of building materials has improved, the requirements for colour matched or contrasting adhesives and sealants has increased in parallel. As large quantities may be required to compete large commercial projects, batch to batch consistency will be important for the satisfaction of the contractor and the customer.

Konica Minolta Measurement Instruments and software offer customers a solution for accurate colour control of everything from raw materials to completed products. Colour measurement allows organisations to implement data driven process control and quality control procedures that improve output consistency, and produce accurate colour to specification and within tolerances, saving time and waste.

Digital colour data can be used to expedite the supply process, greatly improving the producer's ability to react to the market, reducing the risks and costs associated with producing, distributing, and maintaining physical standards.

As with most building materials, a spectral instrument will be the preferred solution.

Spectral data is the only way to check for inconstant colour or metamerism which is important as interiors are typically lit by multiple different illuminants and increasingly effect lighting, but also for providing data for colour formulation and matching.

 
Our benchtop spectrophotometers and colorimeters are manufactured to the highest standards, to provide accuracy and traceability. Benchtop instruments offer the greatest flexibility for all sample types and raw materials including powders, liquids, pastes, and solids at all levels of transparency. Dependent on your requirements or processes, portable instruments can be used to measure dried, cured, or solid samples. 

Konica Minolta's team of specialists offers the expertise from hundreds of installations within this field, successfully leveraging measuring instruments and software to assist our customers and their supply chains in improving quality and reducing waste. Our extensive network of authorised service facilities offers swift repairs and provide traceable calibration of Konica Minolta Measuring Instruments year-round.
