Solvent tinters of the industrial tinting system have been planned to overcome the quality limits of the first generation systems.
Thanks to new technologies, selected resins and dispersant agents, solvent tinters allow the following results:
- High concentration level of solvent tinters
- Minimum pollution level of the final product with resins deriving from tinters
- Accuracy of the reference colour and excellent reproducibility
The second aspect is fundamental for solvent tinters, as it influences the chemical and mechanical resistance features of the protective film. If the enamel produced with the tinting system is more polluted than resins and tinters can accept, the protective film will not have the chemical and physical features that we expect to obtain from such an enamel. Thanks to the SIROMIX system, tinters pollution reaches minimum levels.
By using the computerized spectrophotometer, the coverage optimization of each colour allows a homogeneus yield throughout the various colours. This means having a good coverage for generally low-covering colours and considerable tinters savings for high-covering colours.
Colour accuracy is essential for the user because it allows to contain time and costs. It also avoids long colour matching steps.
SIROMIX solvent tinters are characterized by high concentration, tone stability and yield among the various batches and by the use of extremely stable pigments to the light.
The system has evolved thanks to the addition of solvent tinters made with vanadate ecological pigments and organic/titanate pigments.
Chromium-based pigments have been deleted.
From a few years now, metallic and pearly tinters are directly supplied as metallic and pearly base coats in order to be more compatible with base coat, 2K polyurethane, acrylic systems and others.
