| Résumé : |
New applications require new types of metallic pigments which in turn call for new technologies which meet environmentally safe prcedures. Colour has been the norm in our lives for years, where ever we are, and what ever we are looking at we see different shades of colour. Most of us however, tend to take these for granted; colour is just there. But how do man made colours come about, and what can we expect to see in the future ? Colour has always played an important part in people's lives. As far back as cave drawings, pigments were the medium used to express a state of mind, to decorate and communicate. After the dawn of the new millenium, a renewed emphasis was placed on the joy of colour. Objects and buildings, and indeed our entire surroundings, are becoming more and more colourful. New applications require new types of pigments, which in turn call for new technologies. At the same time, tighter legalisation dictates environmentally safe procedures. The search for innovative solutions to the two demands of market forces and environmental law leads to he development of innovative colours. |
