We use these tools to prepare for the next century.
Having open minds helps us use the information you give us, and apply it to better serve you.

4. Calibrating The Tint Dispenser
We will be sending the calibration kits out in May.
We will show you how to calibrate the Tint Dispenser.
We will show you how to recognize if your tint dispenser is out of calibration.
We will show you how to repack your tint machine, and change a valve.

5. Why are 300 and 500 series finishes different?
PERFORMANCE
Our 300 series is formulated differently causing the changes in the color formula.
Switching from 300 to 500 without changing formulas will cause a mis-tint.

6. Switching From 300 to 500 Series
Here is the conversion calculation:
to to
C-36 *.85 C C /.85 C-36
L-43 *.85 L L / L-43
Note: If you are unsure you can call the Color Department.

7. USING THE COLOR CHART
Being able to use the color chart will help you quickly create a custom color using a variation of our color standards.
This in turn will decrease down time, and increase your revenue.
How do we lighten or darken a standard formula?

8. COLOR CHART CALCULATIONS
for lightening
Standard formula C I-Y9 L-2Y32
Ex:(42-25%=31.5) (Y9 or 57-50%=28.5)
note: 2Y32=128 parts Ex.(2Y32-75%=32)
25% less C I L-2Y
50% less C I L-Y16
75% less C I L-32

9. CALCULATIONS CONT.. 324 10424 for Darkening
Standard Formula: C I-Y9 L- 2Y32
Ex.(42+25%=52.5/48=1.09-1=.09*48=4.5)
(Y9+50%=85.5/48=1.78-1=0.78*48=37.5
25% C-Y4.5 I-Y23 L-3Y16
50% C-Y15 I-Y37.5 L-4Y
75% C-Y25.5 I-2Y4 L-4Y32

10. CREATING A PRIMER FORMULA
Creating Primer formulas for 310 and 313
Example: C-42 I-Y9 L-2Y32
42*2=84/48= =.75*48=Y36
57*2=114/48= =.375*48=2Y18
Y = 48 parts of an ounce.
2Y = 96 parts of an ounce

11. RECHECKING THE FUNDAMENTALS
Do you double check the formula to make sure that it is correct.
Do you keep accurate records of all your samples orders.
Do you keep an accurate maintenance schedule on the tint machine.
Do you use the Tint Manual as a guide.

12. Keeping On Top Of Things
Try to solve any color needs in advance.
You’re the Expert so anticipate your customers needs.
Gather as much information about the job as you can from your customer.
Tend to the customer first, accurately and efficiently.

13. Color Problem Factors
Supplemental orders or multiple batch numbers may cause problems.
Rain, sudden increase or decrease in temperature may cause a problem.
Time is a contributing factor. Fading will occur in the color. The need to have a physical sample in these cases is critical.

14. Use the Tint Manual! It covers:
TINTING IS A PROCESS...
Use the Tint Manual! It covers:
General Information
Policies
Formula requests
Tinting procedures
Color Standards
This is our bible on how to handle color.

15. Tint Manual Procedures:
Verify that the formula is the correct color and texture, and the sample is approved.
Select the proper tint base.
Check tint canister to make sure that it is at least 50% full.
Dispense the formula into one pail.
Blend the material until it is evenly dispersed.

16. Tinting Procedures Continued:
Check color against standard, approved sample, or lab prepared batch card.
If match is acceptable then proceed with tinting the order.
If match is unacceptable, check formula & contact the Color Department.
If you change batch numbers, recheck color.

17. Tinting Tips from Parex
Send a significant amount of relevant material to match. We will need a good size sample.
Get the formula in writing.
Don’t change the formula(no rounding up or down.
Don’t be distracted while tinting.

18. Tinting Tips Continued;
Tint Dispenser:
Stir pigments 15 to 30 minutes a day (timer).
Thoroughly mix the pigment in finish.
Nozzle needs to be clean at all times.
Check the first pail against the sample.
Check the following pails against the first pail.

19. Tinting Tips Continued:
300 and 500 series tint differently !
If you do not drill the pail, use a separate container to supply the pigment (tint cups).
Buy all pigments from Parex.

20. We have added new Tinting equipment
