A gloss meter is widely used as a gloss unit for measuring coated, coated and glossy surfaces with reflection angles of usually 20 degrees, 60 degrees and 85 degrees. A gloss meter is a versatile tool that can be used on smooth, treated or untreated surfaces such as stone, wood, laminate and flooring.
Here are five benefits of using a gloss meter:
Monitor gloss levels in food packaging
Gloss adds to the perceived value of a product. Therefore, it has as much psychological impact on consumers as its color. But when it comes to food packaging, gloss is more than just better for customer appeal.
It cannot be overemphasized that it plays an important role in ensuring food safety for consumers. For example, if the gloss of UV varnishes decreases during the production of food packaging, there may be a major problem.
Poorly cured inks, paints, and coatings can scratch and flake or flake off the packaging, contaminating the food contained within. However, such problems can be detected early by using a gloss meter to monitor the gloss of food packaging during production. Therefore, by using a gloss meter, manufacturers can easily avoid the cost of repainting or recycling, and can avoid a lot of trouble.
Quick and easy way to evaluate
Gloss meters have a variety of other practical applications besides packaging. It can be used for manufacturing materials, components and products themselves. By using a gloss meter or gloss Tester, manufacturers and quality control professionals can quickly and easily evaluate the surface properties of their products.
intra-batch consistency
Gloss Testers or gloss meters are especially suitable for manufacturers who produce high-volume products. When the batch is large, a gloss meter is required to verify that the color and gloss of each single product are the same. Consistency is very important. This can be ensured by using a gloss meter.
Quickly identify variables
Many factors such as coat amount and type, polish smoothness and substrate quality affect gloss. By using a gloss meter and employing good quality control practices, manufacturers can ensure that these variables do not negatively impact customers' perceptions of their products.
Accuracy and Reliability (Digital Gloss Meter)
Using a professional gloss meter, changes in gloss can be quickly, easily and accurately assessed. This makes digital gloss Testers especially convenient for checking gloss on the production floor or even in the field. Digital models are more accurate, reliable and provide repeatable results.
