At Mallorquimica, colour dyeing is a precise process that combines advanced technology with specialist knowledge to achieve consistent and precise results. Our in-store dyeing machines allow us to create colors on demand by adding highly concentrated pigments to selected paint bases. Each formula is digitally controlled, ensuring repeatability and consistent color from the first pack to the last.

Our tinting machines work by dosing the exact amount of dye into the paint, which is thoroughly mixed to achieve a smooth, even finish. This system allows us to produce a wide range of shades with excellent color stability, whether you need a soft neutral, a vibrant touch, or a deep, intense tone.

For colour matching and fine adjustments, at Mallorquimica we adjust the colours using a spectrophotometer (photospectrometer). This device scans a color sample and analyzes its composition by measuring how light reflects off the surface. The data is translated into an accurate color formula, which we can reproduce or adjust as needed. This is especially useful for matching colors from existing walls, fabrics, tiles, or reference samples, where accuracy is essential.

Thanks to this technology and our expertise, we can manufacture virtually any colour from virtually any colour chart, in our wide range of paints and coatings. From interior and exterior paints to specialist finishes, Mallorquímica ensures that your chosen colour is matched, adjusted and produced with reliability and professional quality.

The purpose of intumescent products is to prevent the collapse of a building’s structure, which can occur if a load-bearing element reaches its critical state. For steel, this is linked to the critical temperature, which is defined as the temperature at which the load capacity equals the effect of the applied loads (so the load element would be very close to collapse). The critical temperature of steel can vary between 350ºC and 750ºC, depending mainly on the load scheme, but in most cases it is between 500ºC and 620ºC. For concrete, the critical state is linked to the critical temperature of the rebar (usually between 350°C and 500°C) and the range of a temperature of 500°C inside the concrete element. For wood, it is linked to the residual section of the loading element after combustion.
