Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 256, Pigments, dyestuffs and extenders.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 18451-1:2015), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the definition for colour difference (3.21) has been aligned with ISO 18314-4;
— the definition for extender (3.34) has been aligned with ISO 3262-1;
— the definitions for full shade (3.41) and mass tone (3.69) have been interchanged to align them with
the practical use and with definitions in other standards, e.g. ISO 787-25;
— a note has been added to definitions 3.34 (extender) and 3.81 (nanoextender) concerning the use of
the term “filler” as synonym for “extender” in some industries, e.g. rubber and paints;
— the terms nanomaterial (3.82), engineered nanomaterial (3.82.1), manufactured nanomaterial
(3.82.2) and incidental nanomaterial (3.82.3) have been added;
— “may” has been changed to “can” in several notes;
— the text has been editorially revised.
A list of all parts in the ISO 18451 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at https: //www .iso .org/members .html.

the production processes.
Note 4 to entry: In order to improve application properties, a colourant can contain additives.
3.20
colour
sensation resulting from the visual perception of light of a given spectral composition by the human eye

ab uv
*
in the CIELUV colour space (see ISO/CIE 11664-5). For small colour differences between 05<<ΔE it is
ab
recommended to use the DIN 99o formula (see DIN 6176) for industrial applications, because the CIELAB colour
difference ΔE* is not visually uniform.
Note 2 to entry: Since differences in trichromatic colour measuring systems do not or only approximately
correspond to the perception of colour difference, currently different equations are being used in order to
calculate colour differences from tristimulus values (colour difference formulas). ISO 11664-4 and DIN 6176
recommend specific colour difference equations.

of colourants having the same tinting strength (3.122).
3.27
dispersibility
property of a pigment (3.96) or extender (3.34) characterized by its ability to be wetted, separated and
distributed in a medium
Note 1 to entry: The dispersibility depends on its wettability and on the number and strength of the adhering
areas between the components of the agglomerates (3.94.3).
Note 2 to entry: As a measure of the dispersibility under specified dispersion conditions, e.g. the speed of the
tinting strength (3.122) development and/or the decrease of the fineness of grind (3.37) can be taken.
3.28

3.30
dyestuff
colourant (3.19), soluble in the application medium
Note 1 to entry: Colourants (3.19) for glass, ceramics and vitreous enamel that are dissolved in the glass phase
are also called “Lösungsfarben” in German language. In these cases, oxides of transition elements are used.
Note 2 to entry: In German usage, in the pharmaceutical and foodstuffs fields, the term “Farbstoff” is used as a
synonym for “colourant”.
3.31
earth pigment
pigment (3.96) produced from earths, e.g. by classification, if necessary with additional thermal
treatment
3.32
effect pigment
platelet-like pigment (3.96) that confers not only colour (3.20) but additional properties such as
iridescence (interference at thin layers), angle dependency of colour (colour travel, colour flop, light-
dark flop), or texture
Note 1 to entry: See also metal effect pigment (3.72), nacreous pigment (3.78), and interference pigment (3.51).

medium and used to modify or influence certain physical properties
Note 1 to entry: The German terms “Extender”, “Extenderpigment”, “Pigmentextender” or “Verschnittmittel”
should be avoided.
Note 2 to entry: Whether a given substance is to be considered as pigment (3.96) or extender depends on its
application.
Note 3 to entry: In some industries, such as rubber industries, “extender” is also called “filler” (see ISO 1382). In
coatings industries, the term “extender” is preferred, because in ISO 4618, “filler” is defined as “coating material
with a high proportion of extender, intended primarily to even out irregularities in substrates to be painted and
to improve surface appearance”.
3.35
fastness
stability of the colour (3.20)
Note 1 to entry: For characterization of the respective stress, the term fastness, e.g. of a coating, is used in word
combinations such as light fastness, acid fastness, solvent fastness. The acid fastness, for example, of a coating is
the stability of the colour (3.20) of the coating under the influence of acids.
3.36
final level of dispersion
level of dispersion (3.62) when it has become constant under the defined conditions
Note 1 to entry: The final level of dispersion of a pigment (3.96) depends on the binder system in which it is
dispersed, on the dispersion process and on the composition of the milling base.
3.37
fineness of grind
measure for the largest solid particles in a liquid matrix
Note 1 to entry: The term fineness of grind is not to be confused with the term grain hardness.

iron blue pigment
pigment (3.96) formed by the reaction of iron salts with cyanoferrate(II) or cyanoferrate(III) ions and
followed, if necessary, by treatment with oxidizing agents
3.54
iron oxide pigment
pigment (3.96) consisting of natural or synthetic iron oxides, if necessary with additions of extenders
3.55
kaolinite
main constituent of natural clay (3.89)
3.56
lake
pigment (3.96) produced by precipitation of a dissolved organic dyestuff (3.30) with a precipitating agent
Note 1 to entry: Lake is not “Lack” as commonly used in German language but a colourant (3.19). In Austrian and
Swiss usage, the German expression “Farblack” is not usual.

3.57.1
lake pigment
pigment (3.96) produced by precipitation of a sulphone or carbonic acid-containing azo
dyestuff with one or more suitable metal salts
Note 1 to entry: Lake pigments predominantly contain metal cation magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium,
aluminium or manganese.
3.57.2
lake pigment
pigment (3.96) produced by precipitation of a basic dyestuff (3.30) with heteropoly acids
3.58
lead chromate pigment
yellow, orange or red pigment (3.96) consisting of lead chromate with or without lead sulphate and/or
lead molybdate
Note 1 to entry: Designations in common use for lead chromate pigments are, for example, chrome yellow,
molybdate orange and molybdate red.
3.59
lead chrome green pigment
inorganic pigment (3.96) produced from lead chromate pigments (3.58) and iron blue pigments (3.53)
without additions of extenders (3.34) and other colourants (3.19)
3.60
lead chrome/phthalocyanine pigment
pigment (3.96) produced from lead chromate pigments (3.58) and phthalocyanine blue pigments without
additions of other colourants (3.19)
3.61
leafing
flooding (3.39) of effect pigments (3.32) to the surface of a coating material shortly after application
[SOURCE: ISO 4618:2014, 2.149]
3.62
level of dispersion
extent to which pigment (3.96) particles have been separated, distributed and stabilized by milling in a
binder system under defined conditions
3.63
light fastness
resistance to colour changes due to exposure to light, without direct atmospheric effects (therefore, not
“weather resistance”)
Note 1 to entry: Light fastness commonly is evaluated by visual assessment using standard reference colour
standards (or by instrumental assessment).
3.64
lightening power
ability of a pigment (3.96) to increase the lightness (3.65) of a coloured, grey or black medium
3.65
lightness
intensity of a light perception as it is inseparable connected with each colour perception
Note 1 to entry: Definition aligned to CIELAB.
3.66
TM
lithopone
white pigment obtained by combined precipitation of zinc sulphide (ZnS) and barium sulphate (BaSO )
