The Color of Success for the Paint and Coating Industry
According to Statista, by 2027 the paints and coatings industry is expected to be valued at approximately $232 billion globally. This is mainly driven by increasing demand in the construction industry, as well as the automotive, general industrial, industrial paints and coatings and architectural coatings markets. Color is an essential component for the paints and coatings industry. Innovative trends and a demand for new colors have created the need for lasting and memorable paints that go beyond just color.
If the finished product color is off, paints and coatings manufacturers are left with expensive waste and unhappy customers. How can manufacturers deliver precise and repeatable complex paint color in fewer hits? X-Rite’s paints and coatings color measurement and color matching solutions help to improve efficiencies, reduce the average number of hits, and ensure good correlation and color harmony amongst a global supply chain.
To deliver precise and repeatable color, X-Rite’s solutions for paint and coating color measurement can:
- Incorporate color measurement and spectral data to reduce color variations for superior product quality.
- Identify a paint color shift or color difference early in the process so corrections can be made to reduce material scrap and rework caused by mismatched colors.
- Speed formulation to ensure new colors are introduced faster than the competition and reuse leftover pigment to minimize inventory.
- Integrate quality control software and precise process control to ensure accuracy and consistency between operators and across sites.
