PigmentViewer

Sun Chemical Colors & Effects GmbH

About this app

Virtual fandeck, interactive display of effect and color pigments and formulations thereof.

PigmentViewer is a virtual fandeck for the visual presentation and the side-by-side inspection of the pigment products of Sun Chemical, comprising effect and color pigments for different industries. Furthermore, it can be used to explore examples of their application in a wide range of formulations.

By using innovative image rendering technology, the app displays the appearance of our effect and color pigments in various applications and formulations, emphasizing the individual sparkle and flop behavior of effect pigments. The visual experience is far beyond photo or video demonstrations.

Move your mobile device just like you would do with a real test panel in your hands. Assess the color travel of the effect pigments during flop movement. Investigate the hiding properties of products by observing applications over black and white substrates. See the color pigments acting in an aluminum reduction and explore interactions of pigments in formulation examples.

Search pigments of your choice by using multiple filters offering many industry-relevant criteria. Group and save your personal collections. Study interactively the visual appearance and compare products of interest side by side, as you are used to. Obtain technical data, and the coloristic behavior plotted in convenient professional diagrams.

QUICK START GUIDE

For deeper instructions and information use the 3-dots-menu in the app to get to "Settings", then click "Usage Instructions".

The app requires internet connection to access the Sun Chemical Color Materials pigments database.

The app is structured into three main windows. Imagine them to be ordered side by side:
Filters - Lists - Viewer

You can move between these main windows by swiping or using the arrow buttons alternatively.

The filtering result is given in the list "Products". Use the lists to select and download pigments, that you want to get displayed in the gyro-controlled "Viewer" window.

Enjoy assessing the comparative appearance of two pigments or formulations under the varying illumination and observation conditions that you simulate by tilting your device with your arm – like you do in the real world!

Numerical facts? Being in the "Viewer" open the data list and the diagram sub-windows.

The texture size in the representation of simulated effect applications is scaled to be close to realism on a typical mobile phone monitor (6 inch).
