COLORIMETRY LABORATORY

BASIC RESEARCH PERFORMED IN THE COLORIMETRY LABORATORY :

• tests for color fastness to water, washing, bleaching, solvents, sweat, rubbing, ironing, dry heat, light
• determination of pH of aqueous extracts
• instrumental color measurements of matte and high glosssurfaces: measuring color coordinates, color difference,
• instrumental measurements of color and luminance factor of fluorescent materials,
• instrumental measurement of safety colors and identifications colors
• spectral characteristics of the products in the range of 350-2100 nm (eg. the products with camouflage and masking properties, paints so-called "cool roofs"),
• determining of UPF factor
• transmittance and reflectance measurements in the UV, VIS, NIRspectral range: for example, determination of coefficient of thermal solar hemisphericalradiation, optical contrast
• determination of color and gloss at the customer
• examination of fogging by reflectometric method

We have qualified staff, expertise and modern equipment INCLUDING:

• spectrophotometer - measuring range: VIS; measurement geometry - 45/0 (portable)
• pectrophotometer UV-VIS-NIR; measurement geometry - diffusion (withUlbricht’s integrating sphere)
• spectrophotometer - measuring range: VIS; measurement geometry - diffusion (with integrating sphere)
• tree angle gloss meter - micro-Tri-gloss by BykGardner
• Xenotest, Q-SUN, Suntesttesting instruments - to study the resistance to light
