BYK-mac i COLOR
BYK-mac i COLOR is a BYK-Gardner multi-angle spectrophotometer designed for color measurement on metallic, pearlescent, and effect finishes. This instrument helps users evaluate lightness, color flop, and color travel based on viewing angle changes, making it highly suitable for quality control in automotive coatings, industrial coatings, plastics, and materials with effect pigments.
In effect finish color measurement, visual appearance can change significantly depending on illumination and viewing angles. BYK-mac i COLOR measures color at 15°, 25°, 45°, 75°, and 110°, plus an additional -15° angle for color travel analysis on interference pigments. With this multi-angle measurement capability, color control becomes more objective, repeatable, and easier to compare across batches and production locations.
BYK-mac i COLOR is also equipped to detect and quantify fluorescent light excited in the visible range through the Intensity Emission value. This feature helps users evaluate the influence of fluorescence on color results, support lightfastness prediction, and improve color data consistency during product development, supplier approval, and quality assurance.
