Color measurement of liquid chemical products
From glycolic acid to aromatic solvents to chlorinated kerosene, chemicals can be opaque, translucent or transparent and therefore require different measuring instruments or measuring techniques for successful color measurement. HunterLab offers the right solution, from equipment and software to sample holders, to ensure consistent and accurate color measurement for every measurement process and every sample. Oils, paints, fatty acids or resin solutions and adhesives often require special sample handling and in addition to color values, indices (Gardner, Saybolt, Hazen etc.) and turbidity values are also determined. HunterLab colorimeters meet every requirement here.
The world’s leading chemical producers rely on solutions from HunterLab. Precise and repeatable measurement results ensure the quality and consistency of finished products and raw materials used throughout the entire supply chain.
Detergents, cleaning agents
Petrochemicals (olefins, benzene, ethylene, propylene), engine oil and solvents

Application example:
In the chemical industry, the exact determination of the colour of transparent liquids, such as solvents, resins, melted waxes or lubricating oils such as engine oil, is very important in development and quality management. To qualify the colour of petrochemicals, solvents and lubricants, an exact colour measurement in transmission is the appropriate procedure. Some of these products work with internationally defined colour numbers such as APHA/PtCo/Hazen, Gardner, Saybolt and others. HunterLab's colour measurement offers the perfect solution for determining exact colour values and the appropriate colour number at the same time.
