Systematic success

The colour spectrum of automotive paintwork worldwide comprises more than 50,000 different shades and hundreds of new colours are added every year through adaptation to customer tastes and new pigment technologies. Due to the international availability of almost every vehicle brand, almost all colour shades are represented in all parts of the world.

Only complex mixing systems make it possible to produce each of these colour shades

• exactly,
• at short notice
• and in very small quantities worldwide.

With Mipa automotive paint systems, any desired colour can be produced according to customer requirements from just a few basic components using computer-aided formulations. Highest precision in the production of the basic components and also in the formulation are the prerequisites for the success of these mixing systems.

MIPA SE offers state-of-the-art tools for colour matching to help customers achieve the right colour quickly and precisely. The MipaMix Elite software in conjunction with the MipaMix SSP colour measuring device allows access to Mipa's constantly growing colour archive with several hundred thousand colour formulas. The corresponding recipes are available online on a daily basis. The MCS III colour chart system also provides the processor with an enlarged colour display, which makes it easier to match the colours.

Different Mipa mixing systems can be used depending on the area of application and sales region. Due to restrictive solvent legislation, high-solids and water-based technology have become established in Europe. In contrast, more compact systems are sufficient in the commercial vehicle sector, as the choice of colours in this sector is smaller.

Quality made in Germany

Sandstorms or permafrost - car paints are relentlessly exposed to all existing environmental influences worldwide. In order to prevent a loss of value of the vehicle due to environmental influences, the paintwork must not be damaged or destroyed by these adversities.

It is important to fulfil this requirement for automotive paints. That is why MIPA SE is committed to a consistent quality policy that begins with the selection of raw materials and ends with customer satisfaction. Mipa manufactures all products for the paint structure itself, so they can be perfectly harmonised with each other.

After all, it is not only the topcoat that determines the durability and appearance of a vehicle paint job, all products contribute to this. Any desired colour can be produced by MIPA Autolacksysteme.

Unlimited variety made to measure

The industrial coating sector is a broad field. Depending on classification features such as the binder base of the products, the type of painted surface, the size of the painting company, the object to be painted and many other characteristics, industrial coatings can be categorised into countless sub-sectors.

Mipa industrial coatings are primarily developed for a wide variety of metal and plastic surfaces. In this area, MIPA SE offers a wide range of customised services and products. Depending on the size of the company, the techniques used, the objects to be painted and the required resistance, MIPA always offers an optimum overall concept. This must be worked out together as part of a comprehensive consultation.

Based on the customer's individual needs and technical and commercial requirements, a narrow profile of the paint products that can be used is created. Years of experience with various applications then form the basis for finding the optimum, technically feasible coating. Existing solutions can be modified or even completely new products can be developed.

The consistently high quality of Mipa industrial coatings, sophisticated internal and external logistics solutions and the broad experience base of MIPA SE provide all the prerequisites for a partner that covers all aspects of coating. Numerous sales partners in Germany and abroad give companies with several production sites or suppliers the security of a standardised coating of the end product.

Pro Mix® colouring systems

These systems enable immediate availability in thousands of different colours from the smallest quantities, even for completely newly developed paint products. Users in particular, who have to react flexibly and at very short notice to customer requirements, can thus procure the necessary coating materials "just-in-time".
