Lacquer is a traditional coating material, and its gloss refers to the reflective ability of its surface, that is, the degree of brightness of the surface. Measuring the gloss of a lacquer can help determine the quality and appearance of the lacquer surface. If the glossiness of the lacquer surface is not uniform or does not meet the requirements, it will cause the surface color to be incongruous, and the reflected light on the surface is not bright enough, which will affect the appearance and quality of the lacquer. Therefore, measuring the gloss of the lacquer can check the uniformity and quality of the lacquer surface, ensure that the lacquer meets the requirements, and improve the appearance and quality of the lacquer. In addition, gloss is also an important indicator of the surface treatment process of lacquer. For some lacquer products processed by special processes, such as high-gloss treatment and matte treatment, it is necessary to measure the influence of gloss.
Gloss meter can be used to test the gloss of lacquer. The following are the measurement steps of lacquer gloss detection:
Prepare the sample: Apply the lacquer evenly on the sample panel and let it dry.
Turn on the gloss meter: turn on the instrument, and operate and calibrate according to the instructions.
Place the sample: place the dry sample board flat on the measuring table of the gloss meter, and make sure its surface is smooth without scratches and stains, etc.
To measure: press the measurement button on the instrument, the instrument will automatically measure the sample and display the result on the instrument screen.
Record results: record the measurement results, and perform statistics and analysis on demand.
Beichao reminds you: the test results of lacquer gloss may be affected by factors such as the color and surface roughness of the sample, so proper sample processing and calibration are required before the experiment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.
