A handheld photometer for the control of plastics color

| By Chemical Engineering

X-Rite Europe

The MA94, 96 and 98 multi-angle spectrophotometers can help manufacturers monitor and maintain precise control of the color of plastics they blend into their process. The MA94 and 96 (photo) are next generation, improved versions of the company’s MA68II, and all three units are fully compatible with existing data generation using the MA68II instrument. The units offer improved data repeatability and a more robust method for measuring flexible or curved surfaces, and users will be able to utilize the advanced X-ColorQC software to obtain more information from the data. The instruments feature the firm’s Jobs workflow routine, with both text and visual cues that instruct the user where measurements need to be collected, and records data for analysis by the bundled X-ColorQC software.
