BYK-Gardner is a global leader in color measurement instruments for solid colors, metallic effects, and textured surfaces. PT Jaya Warindo Abadi (JWA) is an authorized distributor of BYK-Gardner's complete color measurement portfolio across Indonesia, serving the paints, coatings, plastics, automotive, and printing industries.
Color measurement is essential for industries where color accuracy, consistency, and effect appearance directly impact product quality. BYK-Gardner instruments deliver objective, repeatable, and reliable data — eliminating subjective visual evaluation and ensuring global color harmony across the supply chain.
Portable Spectrophotometer – spectro2guide
BYK-Gardner offers spectro2guide portable spectrophotometer (combines color measurement with 60° gloss meter and integrated fluorimeter, upright design with large color touchscreen, camera preview for precise positioning on small or curved samples, docking station for auto-diagnosis, calibration, data transfer, and charging). spectro2guide Pro model adds outstanding performance for measuring deepest blacks with jetness indices. Digital standards can be exchanged seamlessly between spectro2guide and benchtop color2view for global QC management. fluorescence prediction calculates ?EFl index for long-term color stability under sunlight exposure.
Portable Spectrophotometer – color2go & color2check
color2go portable spectrophotometer (combines precise color and 60° gloss measurement, compact design, digital standards exchange within color2go family, intuitive touch display, warning message for fluorescent materials). color2check affordable alternative (budget-friendly for internal quality control, working standards measured as reference, compact design with garage for convenient parking).
Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer for Effect Finishes – BYK-mac i
BYK-mac i metallic color multi-angle spectrophotometer (measures traditional 5-angle color at 15°/25°/45°/75°/110°, additional -15° for color travel of interference pigments, sparkle and graininess measurement for flake characterization on metallic and pearl finishes). LED light source with 10-year warranty, temperature stable between 10-40°C without calibration, excellent inter-instrument agreement for digital standards, trigger pins for stable positioning on curved parts (r > 500 mm). BYK-mac i ROBOTIC option for automated color & effect control with robotic arm integration for Industry 4.0.
Benchtop Spectrophotometer – color2view
color2view benchtop spectrophotometer (circumferential illumination at 45°/0° viewing angle as you see it, simultaneous 20° and 60° gloss measurement, fluorescence quantification to predict lightfastness with CIELAB and ?E data). Two sample openings (top and front) for various sample sizes, compact and lightweight design, storage compartment for standards, capacitive touchscreen with smartphone-like operation, integrated camera for live preview of measurement spot, smart sample holder with soft-close function. color2view Pro offers special jetness indices for deepest blacks. Exchange digital standards with spectro2guide for seamless global QC management.
Light Booth – byko-spectra
byko-spectra light booth (standardized visual color evaluation under multiple light sources including D65, A, TL84, UV, CWF, Horizon, etc., complies with ASTM D1729, ISO 3668, SAE J361, meets major automotive manufacturer standards, compact design for laboratory and production use, optional UV light for metamerism detection and fluorescent whitening agents).
Color and Texture Measurement – spectro2profiler
spectro2profiler color meter and 3D profilometer (combines color measurement with 3D surface texture analysis for structured surfaces, circumferential illumination at 45°/0° for repeatable results on textured surfaces, extra-large measurement spot). Measures cell size (mm?2;) and perceived cell amplitude (P-µm) for grain analysis. 2D reflectivity measurement with Reflectivity Contrast (Rc) parameter for injection or slush molded parts. Algorithms available: leather-like for real/artificial leather, coarse paint for powder coatings, fine texture for eroded plastics.
Gardner Color Liquids
Gardner color liquids (reference standards for grading the color of transparent liquids such as resins, varnishes, oils, and chemicals per ASTM D1544 and ISO 4630).
Color Software – smart-chart
All BYK-Gardner color instruments are supported by smart-chart color software: smart-lab for R&D flexibility (project management, L*a*b* data analysis under different illuminants, fluorescence slider, color difference equations ?ECMC/?E*94/?E00); smart-process for production QC (SQL database for large data volumes, SPC reports with adjustable layout, digital standards exchange, organizers with product schematics).
Applications
Various types of applications for additive products in coatings, industrial applications, and plastics.
