Gloss measurement for special applications with a brilliant color display and smart-lab gloss softwareSpecific materials require specific measuring angles: Ceramic materials, plastic films and solid plastics, paper and paperboard either measure specular gloss at the standard  geometries 20°, 60°, 85° or at industry specific geometries 45° or 75°.

micro-gloss 75°

Especially coated paper, but also a variety of uncoated papers request gloss control. The 75° geometry is suitable for most ink films on paper and paperboard. Another typical material to be tested for specular gloss using the 75° geometry is vinyl siding made principally from rigid PVC and is used to clad exterior walls of buildings.

 

micro-gloss 45°

Ceramics, porcelain enamels and other finishes use the 45° geometry and often provide a comparison of their resistance to acid, alkali or other environmental factors by measurement of gloss loss.
