[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is capable of easily and accurately toning paint to a desired color, thereby improving service at paint stores and reducing inventory burden. It is about the method.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, paints are sold from manufacturers to retailers and then supplied to customers. Dealers keep in stock the type and number of paints expected to be needed in order to respond to requests from customers. For example, 10 colors in one month.
In order to cope with the case where a paint factory that consumes 100 cans of paint for each color (16 kg per can) operates for half a month, the stock amount (weight) will be 8000 kg from the following formula (■), and the size of one can will be 24 cm in height and 24 cm in width. If it is 24cm and height is 35cm, the storage space (capacity) will be 10.080m3 from the following formula (■), and the purchase amount will be 4 million yen if one can is 8,000 yen.Sales regarding inventory amount, storage space, purchase amount, etc. The burden on the store was heavy. 10 (color) x 100 (can) x 1/2 (month) x 1
6 (Kg) ...■ 500 (
can) x 24 (cm) x 24 (cm) x 35 (cm)
…■

[0003] Conventionally, in order to obtain a paint toned to a desired color, a plurality of types of primary color paints, each of which is a complete blend of all raw materials including colorants, have been mixed. For example, to get pink paint,
Red paint and white paint, which had already been manufactured, were mixed together. Such color toning work is large-scale and requires a certain amount of equipment, and it is difficult to obtain a desired color tone because a large amount of mixing is performed. For this reason, color toning was generally not performed at retail stores.

0004

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to improve the service to customers by equipping the store with a color matching function, and to reduce the amount of inventory at the store. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a paint color matching method that can reduce storage space, purchase price, etc.

[0005]

[Means for achieving the object] The method of toning a paint according to the present invention involves separating the paint into a colorant and other raw materials, preparing the other raw materials and various types of colorants, and using only the colorant. It is characterized in that various types of colorants are mixed to obtain a desired color, and the mixed colorant is added to the other raw materials.

[0006]

[Operation] Since the amount of coloring agent in the entire paint is very small, it is easy to accurately weigh and mix any type of coloring pigment in any proportion to produce a desired color.

[0007]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. If the paint or constituent raw material as shown in Figure 1 is, for example, a solvent a.
, resin b, extender pigment c, colored pigment d, and additive e are separated into colored pigment d and other raw materials a, b, c, and e, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the other raw materials a, b, c, and e and various types of colored pigments a1, a2, ..., ap, aq, ...an are prepared. Next, various colored pigments are mixed to obtain a desired color. For example, when toning the color to pink, a red colored pigment ap and a white colored pigment aq are mixed. Then, the toned colored pigment is added to the other raw materials a, b, c, and e. As a result, a paint color-adjusted to the desired color can be obtained.

For example, the amount of colored pigment in one 16 kg paint can is 0.5 kg, which is a very small amount compared to the whole paint and is easy to handle. Therefore, it is easy to accurately weigh and mix coloring pigments, and it is also easy to accurately mix any type of coloring pigment in any proportion to produce a desired shade. Therefore, by adopting the present invention, even a retailer without large-scale color mixing equipment can easily mix colors, and even if a customer orders paint of a color that is not kept in stock. Even if a product is received, it can be handled at the retailer without placing an order with the manufacturer. This will shorten delivery times and improve services to customers.

[0009] Also, a container of 0.5 kg of color pigment is 200
Since the amount is about cc, the storage space for inventory is negligible. Therefore, stores can easily stock a wide variety of color pigments. For example, as shown in Table 1, when the present invention is adopted, the amount of inventory (weight), storage space (capacity), purchase price, etc. are all reduced compared to the conventional method, and the inventory burden on retailers is reduced. be done. Moreover, since many types of color pigments can be stored, it is possible to mix many colors, and in this respect as well, services to customers can be improved.

0010

[Table 1]

In Table 1, the conventional examples are those described above. In addition, in the example of the present invention, there are 40 cans of other raw materials because the required number per day when January is the 25th is 40 cans according to the following formula (■). This is because it is possible to replenish in a planned manner on a daily basis, so it is only necessary to store one day's worth. 10 (color) x 100 (can) ÷ 25 (day)
...■Also, the number of cans of coloring pigment was set at 1000 because the capacity of these cans is small, so it would not be a problem to prepare one month's worth of cans.

0012

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a paint is separated into a colorant and other raw materials, the other raw materials and various types of colorants are prepared, and only the colorants are mixed in various ways. Since the paint is colored by adjusting the color to the desired color and adding the toned colorant to the other raw materials, it is possible to easily and accurately adjust the color of the paint to the desired color. .

[0013] Therefore, it is possible to provide a color matching function to a store that does not have large-scale color mixing equipment, and even if a customer orders paint of a color that is not kept in stock, the order can be placed from the manufacturer. Instead, the store will respond,
It is possible to improve services to customers by shortening delivery times, etc.

[0014] In addition, it is possible to easily store a wide variety of color pigments at the store, reducing the amount of inventory, storage space, purchase price, etc. compared to the past, reducing the inventory burden on the store. can do. In addition, since many types of color pigments can be stored, it is possible to mix various colors, and in this respect as well, services to customers can be improved.
