Patent number: 7158672Abstract: The present invention provides a color recipe calculation method for matt finished, solid color shades, by means of which it is possible to determine the proportion of matting agents in a color recipe in a manner decoupled from the actual calculation of the recipe and is based on a conventional spectrophotometric characterization of a matt sample using a standardised 45°/0° measurement geometry along with an established gloss measurement, or alternatively using a spectrophotometer equipped with a d/8° measurement geometry and analyzing readings taken with the specular component included and excluded.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Uwe Johansson, Wilhelm Kettler
