Colour Measurement for the Chemical Industry

Colour measurement for chemical liquids, powders, pastes, pellets, and granules

 

Colour Measurement Solutions for the Chemical Industry

Konica Minolta Measuring Instruments offer easy-to-use, accurate, and traceable colour measurement solutions that assist chemical companies in process control and quality control applications whether it is for granules, powders, or liquids.

Scalable systems are available for both laboratory and production environments that will enable customers and the wider value chain to record actionable colour and colour difference data. 
  • Optimise processes
  • Analyse and track production
  • Take measurements at goods-in or with suppliers
If the colour of the end product changes, it is necessary to minimise production errors cutting costly out-of-specification product and allowing the producer to react. For this purpose, colour changes must be detected at an early stage.

Our measuring instruments help to carry out reliable checks easily and quickly during production.

Konica Minolta has a global reach, with local sales and expertise to assist you in establishing a successful digital colour data system. Whether between supply chain partners, in development, in production or in QC, our teams can deliver a solution that meets your needs, and partner with you to scale that system as those requirements grow. Our colour matching software is supported by a dedicated team experienced in installation, training, and customization of the solution to optimise your colour workflows.

Konica Minolta Measuring Instruments are supported by an extensive network of authorised service facilities to ensure that your instrument is maintained, accurate, and traceable all year round.

Benefits

  • Process improvements: Our rapid and high-precision measurements minimise costs and avoid operating errors.
  • Universal solutions: Our instruments can handle almost any kind of samples in solid, granule, pasty, or liquid form. Big aperture size, different Petri-dishes and cell paths, as far as a large transmittance chamber, offer a unique flexibility. Our spectrophotometer CM-5 for example can measure colour samples either in reflectance or transmittance, including multiple data views and the most up to date colour scales and indices.

Example Applications

  • Chemical products such as powders, pellets, granules, pastes, and liquids require different measurement methodology. The wide range of Konica Minolta instruments make sure you’ll be able to measure the colour as well as other industry specific metrics in reflection or transmission, such as e.g. APHA, correlated Haze, Gardner Scale, yellowness, and whiteness.
