Pigments, dyestuffs and extenders - Terminology - Part 1: General terms (ISO 18451-1:2015)

ISO 18451-1:2015 defines terms that are used in the field of pigments, dyestuffs and extenders.
For some terms, reference is made to ISO 4618 in which also terms and definitions for colourants are given, relating to their use in coating materials.
In addition to terms in English and French (two of the three official ISO languages), this part of ISO 18451 gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
NOTE Those terms that are defined elsewhere in this part of ISO 18451 are shown in italics.

Pigments, colorants et matières de charge - Terminologie - Partie 1: Termes généraux (ISO 18451-1:2015)

L'ISO 18451-1:2015 définit les termes utilisés dans le domaine des pigments, colorants et matières de charge.
Pour certains termes, il est fait référence à l'ISO 4618 qui fournit également des termes et définitions relatifs aux matières colorantes utilisées dans les produits de peinture.
En complément des termes en anglais et français (deux des trois langues officielles de l'ISO), l'ISO 18451‑1:2015 donne les termes équivalents en allemand; ces termes sont publiés sous la responsabilité du comité membre pour l'Allemagne (DIN). Toutefois, seuls les termes et définitions donnés dans les langues officielles peuvent être considérés comme étant des termes et définitions de l'ISO.
NOTE Les termes qui sont définis ailleurs dans l'ISO 18451-1:2015 sont marqués en caractères italiques.

Pigmenti, barvila in polnila - Terminologija - 1. del: Splošni izrazi (ISO 18451-1:2015)

ISO 18451-1:2015 določa izraze, ki se uporabljajo za pigmente, barvila in polnila.
Pri nekaterih izrazih se sklicuje na standard ISO 4618, v katerem so podani tudi izrazi in definicije barvil, ki se nanašajo na njihovo uporabo v materialih za premaze.
Izrazi v tem delu standarda ISO 18451 so razen v angleškem in francoskem jeziku (ki sta dva od treh uradnih jezikov ISO) navedeni tudi v nemškem jeziku. Slednji so objavljeni z odgovornostjo ustreznih organov za Nemčijo (DIN). Vendar je kot izraze in definicije ISO mogoče šteti samo tiste, ki so v uradnih jezikih.
OPOMBA: Izrazi, ki so določeni drugje v tem delu standarda ISO 18451, so prikazani v poševnem tisku.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

should be avoided.
Note 2 to entry: Whether a given substance is to be considered as pigment (2.95) or extender depends on its
application.
2.35
fastness
stability of the colour (2.20)
Note 1 to entry: For characterization of the respective stress, the term fastness, e.g. of a coating, is used in word
combinations such as light fastness, acid fastness, solvent fastness. The acid fastness, for example, of a coating is
the stability of the colour (2.20) of the coating under the influence of acids.
2.36
final level of dispersion
level of dispersion (2.62) when it has become constant under the defined conditions
Note 1 to entry: The final level of dispersion of a pigment (2.95) depends on the binder system in which it is

2.59
lead chrome green pigment
inorganic pigment (2.95) produced from lead chromate pigments (2.58) and iron blue pigments (2.53)
without additions of extenders (2.34) and other colourants (2.19)
2.60
lead chrome/phthalocyanine pigment
pigment (2.95) produced from lead chromate pigments (2.58) and phthalocyanine blue pigments without
additions of other colourants (2.19)
2.61
leafing
flooding (2.39) of specially treated effect pigments (2.32) to the surface of a coating material shortly
after application
2.62
level of dispersion
extent to which pigment (2.95) particles have been separated, distributed and stabilized by milling in a
binder system under defined conditions
2.63
light fastness
resistance to colour changes due to exposure to light, without direct atmospheric effects (therefore, not
“weather resistance”)
Note 1 to entry: Light fastness commonly is evaluated by visual assessment using standard reference colour
standards (or by instrumental assessment).
2.64
lightening power
ability of a pigment (2.95) to increase the lightness (2.65) of a coloured, grey or black medium
2.65
lightness
intensity of a light perception as it is inseparable connected with each colour perception
Note 1 to entry: Definition aligned to CIELAB.
2.66
TM
lithopone
white pigment obtained by combined precipitation of zinc sulphide (ZnS) and barium sulphate (BaSO )
4
2.67
luminance factor
measure of the lightness (2.65) of surface colours (2.115)
Note 1 to entry: Generally, this luminance factor is 100 times the reflectance factor R . Depending on the object
v
and the measuring geometry 100 times the reflectance, ρ, or the transmittance factor, T, can be taken as the
luminance factor. The luminance factor is connected with the tristimulus values by the luminance coefficients.
2.68
luminous pigment
pigment (2.95) that absorbs radiation and emits light (of higher wavelength)
Note 1 to entry: This effect is called luminescence.
Note 2 to entry: The optical effect is based on its ability to absorb radiation and to emit light of higher wavelength
with temporal delay (phosphorescence) or without temporal delay (fluorescence).
2.69
mass tone
colour (2.20) of a mass tone system (2.70) in optically infinite (hiding) layer

2.70
mass tone system
pigmented system, containing one pigment (2.95) only
2.71
masterbatch
preparation which, in a solid polymer carrier, contains substances [colourants (2.19), extenders (2.34),
additives] in much higher concentration than in the moulded component or semi-finished product to be
produced using this preparation
Note 1 to entry: The substances are present either completely dispersed or dissolved.
2.72
metal effect pigment
platelet-like pigment (2.95) consisting of metal
Note 1 to entry: Metal effect pigments can be orientated in parallel and show then metallic gloss due to light
reflection at the flakes.
2.73
metal pigment
pigment (2.95) consisting of metals or metal alloys
EXAMPLE Zinc dust pigment.
2.74
mica
alkali-containing hydrated aluminium silicates in lamellar form
EXAMPLE Muscovite, biotite and phlogopite.
Note 1 to entry: Not to be confused with micaceous iron oxide (2.75).
2.75
micaceous iron oxide
refined mineral or synthetic product consisting essentially of iron (III) oxide (Fe O )
2 3
Note 1 to entry: Micaceous iron oxide has lamellar form and is grey in colour (2.20) with metallic gloss.
2.76
migration
transfer of a colourant (2.19) from a medium coloured with it to the surface [blooming (2.9)] or into
another medium
[SOURCE: bleeding (2.8)]
2.77
muscovite
natural lamellar hydrated potassium aluminium silicate
Note 1 to entry: Muscovite can be used as raw material for effect pigments (2.32).
2.78
nacreous pigment
gloss pigment consisting of transparent flakes with high refractive index
Note 1 to entry: Nacreous pigments can be orientated in parallel and show then nacreous lustre as characterized
by multiple reflection. Nacreous pigments that also show interference colours are also called pearl pigment or
interference pigment (2.51).
