Colors: TINTOMETRIC SYSTEM
Ilva was the first company to introduce a systematic color tinting system to the wood coatings market. Ilva Tintometric System specifically designed for wood coatings, is an extremely simple way to generate colored finishes (polyurethane or water-based) in the widest spectrum of color with excellent reproducibility. 

Developed and improved over many years, Tintometric System is based on the use of colored pastes formulated with high quality pigments that provide maximum stability and color resistance to light and heat. Pigmented pastes are thoroughly tested with sophisticated scientific systems to adjust color concentration and shades. These pastes formulated with pigments selected in reference to EN71/3 regulations, governing the use of heavy metals in the production of toys.

At Ilva dealers and distributors, most desired colors can be obtained in the following finishes:
• Shiny polyurethane finishes
• Matt polyurethane finishes
• Water matt finishes for interiors
• Outdoor water finishes

Colors can be chosen from 2100 NCS and RAL sample cards.

Moreover, Ilva Service Centers are equipped to generate, with a high degree of color reproduction, other desired colors for wood finish and decoration using the Tintometric System.
