| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for generating a composition for dyes, paints, printing inks, grind resins, pigment concentrates, or other coating substances, the composition comprising solids and dispersants and being generated by a computer system. The computer system has access to a database in which known compositions are stored as measurement points together with respective rheological- and coloristic properies. The method comprises, in particular, a database query for a composition and in the event that the database query is unsuccessful, another database query is carried out in order to find a candidate composition which replaces one of the components with a substitute component, and a corresponding composition is generated. |
