BYK-Gardner Opacity Charts
BYK-Gardner Opacity Charts are test charts or drawdown cards used to evaluate hiding power, opacity, and the ability of coatings to cover a substrate surface. These charts typically feature black and white test areas, allowing users to compare the appearance of applied coatings visually or by using reflectance measurement instruments.
These products are widely used in paint formulation, coating quality control, hiding power testing, and evaluation of color consistency and application thickness. With stable and consistent test areas, Opacity Charts help ensure more repeatable testing results from batch to batch.
Opacity Charts, also known as byko-chart Opacity, are black and white drawdown cards designed to test the hiding power of coatings. The black and white areas provide a clear evaluation base to determine how effectively a paint or coating covers the underlying substrate color. These products are available in several chart formats, such as Opacity 2A, Opacity 3B, Opacity 5C, Opacity L, and Opacity Display 9B, depending on the testing application.
