Over 3,800 already formulated colors, reproducible on 34 VivColor converters. It is the VivMix System database. This includes RAL K7, NCS, mica, Pantone C, industrial colors and corporate colors. For Pantone C, some shades may not be technically formulatable on industrial painting systems, because the standard was created for the ink sector. The colors are…

RAL K7, NCS, micaceous, Pantone C, industrial colors and corporate colors. These are the color families included in the VivMix System database, the VivColor tinting system. The colors in the program are already developed: the operator starts from the standard formulation. How many are there? We’ll tell you on Thursday. #VivColor #VivMix #RAL #NCS #SistemaTintometrico…

“VivMix System brings a complete color laboratory to the company, with the same qualities, raw materials and controls that we use daily in our production processes. It is not a simple dispensing software but an integrated system: structured and already formulated color database, industrial converters, 100% VivColor coloring pastes, integration with automatic tinting machines and…

Warehouse stocks, waiting times, risk of error. These are the three points on which VivMix System works, the tinting system developed by VivColor to bring a complete color laboratory into the company. The objective is to produce color on site, reducing inventories, waiting times and risk of error, maintaining chromatic stability over time. On Thursday…

Fireplaces, stoves, thermo fireplaces, boilers, mufflers, interiors of ovens not intended for food use. It is the Termoviv 600° field, and only one thing holds that list together: they are all products that work hot and can almost never stop for a cooking cycle. The paint is single-component, therefore ready for use without mixing, and…

The first switch-on of the season is the most honest test there is. During the months of downtime the metal worked the same: condensation in the firebox, humidity in the flue, and where the paint was already weakened the summer did the rest. You can see it immediately, as soon as the temperature rises. Bubbles…

450 degrees continuously. 600 peak. These are the two numbers of Termoviv 600°, and put together they tell us where the product can fit. 450 is the operating temperature at which the product can work without interruption: fireplaces, boilers, interiors of ovens not intended for food use. 600 is the thermal peak that the coating…

There are two numbers on a high-temperature paint sheet, and you almost always look at the wrong one. The big number is the peak: the temperature the coating can withstand for short intervals. It hits, but that’s not what it’s designed for. The data that decides whether a cycle holds is the other, the continuous…

Above 300 degrees, Termoviv 600° still has the color you applied it with. The credit goes to the silicone binder. Organic binders, above a certain temperature, begin to degrade and take away the color fastness. Silicone resin does not: it remains stable, and the finish maintains the appearance it had on the first day. No…

Turn the stove back on in October and black is no longer the same black. Where the heat really beats, on the mouth of the hearth and on the first section of the barrel, the color fades: it turns towards grey, loses depth, in certain points it becomes opaque in patches. The artifact is healthy…

Three hours. Then the piece moves. Termoviv 600° Heat-Free is a single-component silicone paint for high temperatures, and it does something that almost no one in this family of products does: it dries in the air. No baking, no cooking, no cooling. The painted products move already approximately two to three hours after application. What…

A quote is done quickly when the numbers are clear. Here they are. VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO yields 4.5 m² per kg at 100µm dry thickness, with a dry residue of 76%: you measure the surface and you know how much product to order. 20% catalysis, application by brush, roller or spray. The colours: white RAL…

There is a reason why you can find the same primer in carpentry, in a foundry and on a naval dock. Where the work is demanding, the enemy is always the same: corrosion. Only the forms it takes change: saltiness, chemical vapours, abrasion, bad weather. VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO was created for these environments: industrial mechanics…

What if you don’t have to wait between primer and finish? With VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO you can paint wet on wet. On two-component finishes there is no need to wait for the primer to dry completely: apply the primer and move on to the finish in the same work session. For production it means only…

When a paint job fails, everyone looks at the finish. It’s almost always what’s underneath that is to blame. Detachments, bubbles, rust that resurfaces after a few months: in most cases the problem is the wrong base for the support, poorly applied or skipped altogether to save a step. The primer is not an extra…

A base that stays where you put it, even at high thicknesses. It is thixotropy, and it is the heart of VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO. Its thixotropic modification does a simple thing: the product flows under the brush or spray, then regains body as soon as it is applied. No drips on vertical surfaces, no sagging…

On a vertical beam the thickness is everything. That’s where the bottom falls out. Anyone who paints carpentry knows this: on flat surfaces everything goes smoothly, then comes verticals, edges and boxed surfaces. Load the product to thicken it and the pouring starts; you put in little and you stay under spec. Result: bagging lines,…

The protection of the iron is decided on the first layer. Ours is called VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO. It is a two-component epoxy primer with a high concentration of zinc phosphates, corrosion inhibitors: it does not cover rust, it chemically prevents it on the ferrous surface where it originates. It is designed for those who work…

Rust never stops a car in its tracks. He consumes it one quote at a time. First it’s a bloom on a weld, then a joint that gets stuck, then extraordinary maintenance that wasn’t in the budget. And when the vehicle works outdoors or in an aggressive environment, the calculations run high. The point is…

A weekend in September is worth three in November. At least for your wood. The right time to protect doors, frames, beams and furniture is now, before the rains: dry wood, mild temperatures, fast drying. With DECORVIV the job is simple: ready to use, it can be applied directly to the surface, by brush or…

August ends today. Unfortunately, the holidays are over for you, the easy part is over for your wood. Doors, frames, beams and furniture spent three months under sun and storms. The fiber is dry, the color is tired. And now comes the worst season: rain, stagnating humidity, temperature changes. Dry wood in summer is a…

Protecting wood does not mean giving up color. DECORVIV is a decorative impregnator: while it nourishes and defends the fibre, it colors it. And since it doesn’t create a film, the dye doesn’t cover the wood: it passes through it, and the grain remains alive and visible. You choose the shades from the Waterwood color…
