Spectrophotometer for Pigment Color Measurement

Benchtop reflectance spectrophotometer that measures color of pigment powders, pastes and drawdowns across the visible spectrum. Used by pigment makers and paint and plastics colorists for shade matching and batch control.

Specification

A diffuse sphere illuminates the sample while a spectral sensor reads reflectance from 400 to 700 nm. Color difference against a standard is displayed as delta E and pass or fail. Formulation software can suggest corrections.

Features

• 400-700 nm spectral range
• Integrating sphere d/8
• Reports L*a*b*, delta E
• Specular included or excluded
• USB and PC software
