What Does CPVC Stand For?
CPVC stands for Critical Pigment Volume Concentration
Critical Pigment Volume Concentration (CPVC) refers to the specific ratio of pigment to binder in a paint or coating system at which the coating achieves optimal film formation and performance properties. At this concentration, the pigment particles are dispersed to their maximum effectiveness without excess binder, ensuring that the coating possesses ideal attributes such as color stability, opacity, and durability. Understanding and determining the CPVC is essential for formulating high-quality coatings with desired aesthetic and functional characteristics.
