The BYK-mac i spectrophotometer objectively measures total color impression under different viewing angles and lighting conditions. Additionally, it detects and quantifies fluorescent light in the visible range.
- Total color impression:
- 5-angle color measurement for light/dark travel evaluation: 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110°
- Additional color measurement behind the gloss for color flop analysis: -15°
- Sparkle and graininess measurement for flake characterization
- Detection and quantification of fluorescent light excited in the visible range; Intensity Emission Value
- Excellent agreement between instruments allowing usage of digital standards among the supply chain
- Stable, long-term calibration – needed only every three months
- Temperature independent results between 10 – 40° C – without calibration
- Stable positioning due to 4 trigger pins on bottom plate – operator influence minimized
- 10 year warranty on LED light source – no lamp changes needed
- Operated by a rechargeable battery pack – good for 1,000 readings
