FROM IDEA TO PRODUCT

First, an initial consultation is held to identify opportunities for optimization in the use of liquid paint. The focus is on the current painting method and the application-specific Advantages by switching to liquid paint. In addition, the relevant ROWAMETRIC Dosing System discussed. Depending on the processing method and color scheme, various pumps may be suitable for this purpose. For example, for small batch sizes and frequent color changes, the hose or peristaltic pump is the metering device of choice. For “continuous operation” or very small dosages, the eccentric screw pump may be the best solution. And if the color needs to be continuously injected into the melt under high pressure, a gear pump is used.

Once all key figures have been recorded and a suitable project has been identified, we begin by matching one or more colors based on your sample. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a RAL, NCS, or Pantone color, whether it’s supposed to be opaque or transparent, or whether it contains fluorescent or effect pigments—we can fulfill almost any request! Of course, the color can also consist of monopigment concentrates if the goal is to dye the material yourself using “monos.”
Based on the resulting liquid dye dosage and the retail price, an initial cost-effectiveness analysis can then be conducted. Since liquid dyeing offers many other advantages in addition to lower dyeing costs, all aspects of the production process must be taken into account in the cost analysis.

The liquid paints and additive concentrates from ROWASOL are an alternative to conventional masterbatches. They consist of pigments or dyes that are discontinuously dispersed at room temperature in a solvent-free, liquid carrier system. Special wetting agents and rheological additives ensure optimal pigment distribution and dispersion stability. Depending on the application, the use of liquid colorants can offer advantages in terms of colorant usage, color homogeneity, color change times, and inventory management. In addition to custom color formulations, we also offer optimally pre-dispersed monopigment concentrates that allow users to create their own color formulations for maximum flexibility.
