German term or phrase: Körperhaftigkeit
Die Farben der kt.COLOR AG unterscheiden sich von herkömmlichen Industriefarben durch den Einsatz seltener Pigmente wie Naturerden und Mine-ralpigmente. Diese kostenrelevanten Zusätze werden hoch dosiert und in komplizierten Verfahren gemischt, sodass Farben von besonderer «Körperhaftigkeit» entstehen.

adhesive characteristics


Explanation:
Farben von besonderer «Körperhaftigkeit» entstehen - paints with special adhesive characteristics

SPI Supplies® Brand Carbon Paint and Paste
And the SPI Carbon Paint is formulated with a small amount of a special polymer to give extra adhesive characteristics to the paint. If the carbon paint ...

From the corrosion protection mechanisms of paint coatings, good adhesion to the underlying material is obviously highly desirable.

These bonding effects all rely on intimate contact between the underlying material and the coating, down to the scale of the molecular level.

neutral  Jim Tucker (X): Isn't the original passage explicitly about pigments? // "Producing colors of particular presence." (possibly "vibrancy")

  -> How would you translate "so dass Farben von besonderer «Körperhaftigkeit» entstehen."? Yes, you're right. Bad work on my part.

agree  Jim Tucker (X): How can I disagree? "Uncommon" is good, or in advertising hype-talk maybe "exceptional." "Body" might also work, echoing the semantic area of the original.
10 mins
  -> No, no! Thank YOU!
agree  Kim Metzger: Or maybe something with full-bodied, intense.
19 mins
  -> Thank you.
agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): fits best here
55 mins
  -> Thank you.
agree  Bernhard Sulzer: with 'exceptional presence/body', almost but not quite like 'prominent' or 'three-dimensional quality', although it goes in that direction. Just a few thoughts.
6 hrs
  -> Thank you.
agree  Stephen Reader: Oops, about to make own entry, redundant: Just "body", as a quality in non-scientific terms (cf. 'presence'), to suggest both or either of a) physical consistency b) intensity of colour (cf. 'luminosity' but that'd raise opaque/glaze issue)

retentiveness /retention


Explanation:
COLOR RETENTION
Iron oxide and non iron oxide pigments are equal in color retention. We have customers that have very good color retention after 7 years. Color retention is due to proper pigment implantation. The difference is iron oxide pigments will start changing in approximately six months. Brown to orange or mauve, black to blue etc.

Color retention pigment for paint compositions using latex vehicles
Manganomanganic oxide or a material containing manganomanganic oxide as its principle ingredient is used as a colorant with good staining and retention properties in compositions of water emulsion based coatings.
