Optical effect pigment morphologies: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent color reproduction across different application environments leads to costly rework and material waste. These innovations utilize digital target adaptation to ensure visual consistency between virtual displays and physical effect coatings.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Optical effect pigment morphologies?

Inaccurate digital color reproduction

(12)evidences

Variations in application processes lead to inconsistent visual results between target and applied coatings. Eliminating these discrepancies ensures aesthetic uniformity across different manufacturing environments.

Inaccurate visual coating reproduction

(10)evidences

Human perception of complex optical effects lacks standardized digital quantification. Establishing objective metrics for visual attributes enables reproducible quality control and accurate digital rendering.

Inaccurate coating performance prediction

(9)evidences

Variations in leveling and run-resistance lead to surface defects and non-uniform appearance across complex geometries. Eliminating these inconsistencies ensures predictable aesthetic and functional quality in industrial applications.

Inaccurate paint spray simulation

(2)evidences

Irregularities in the physical shape and flow of liquid coatings during application lead to poor finish quality. Precise assessment of the spray envelope ensures uniform pigment distribution and repeatable coating thickness.
