If you’re a coatings manufacturer, distributor, owner or manager of a paint brand you know there are so many factors to consider it can be rather frustrating. At Colour Genie we’re very good at helping solve the puzzle.
Whether you’re new to the industry or an old hand, the part we play is to work through your requirements, provide a tailor-made solution and support you along the way.
Let us give you some good examples –
For a specialist market there’s a lot of choice, so making the right choice is key. We provide advice on what machinery will best suit your requirements depending on the type of coatings you want to tint, the colorants you want to use, the volume of product you want to tint and the speed at which you need to process tinted product.
Linked to this are your software and database requirements, whether you’re starting from scratch or have a legacy of colour recipes you want to migrate, or a spectrophotometer you need to integrate we can assist.
Colorant technology continues to evolve, improving product performance and cost efficiency. Our core selection of water based and universal dispersions, for POS tinting machinery and in-plant dosing, are at the forefront of colorant technology.
But this isn’t the only route. Many customers have a legacy of using older colorant technologies which they are reluctant to switch from, particularly if they fear a change could lead to disruption. That is why we offer countertype colorants as an alternative, ‘pour-over’ dispersions that can be simply switched to. Quite commonly at a lower cost than the original, they have the same characteristics enabling you to use your existing colour recipe database.
Behind the product there’s a network of R&D support. As no two customers are the same, we tailor to suit your requirements. That could be providing a bespoke selection of colour recipes for a particular paint finish, full characterisation of a wide selection of bases, the transfer of an existing recipe database or the creation of a new one. Whatever the route you want to take we can guide you through it.

Renzmann machines and units conform to the relevant European regulations and offer maximum health and safety protection for the operator. Washing machines are used to clean cans, buckets, barrels, containers and shipping containers.
Distillation units recover contaminated solvents and washing agents. The distillate is as effective as new solvent and can be reintroduced into the solvent circuit of the cleaning system. This contribution to a healthy environment also has significant economic benefits as most distillation units recoup their costs in a very short time.
All distillation units can be combined with a washing machine and an appropriate washing agent supply system to form a closed circuit.
