Profile Gloss Meter

The profile gloss meter measures the ratio of specularly reflected light intensity to the reflectance of a standard plate by illuminating the sample surface with a light source at a fixed angle. It is used to quantify the gloss uniformity of surfaces such as plastic and metal profiles, monitoring the effects of coating and injection molding processes during production lines and quality inspections.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to matching the measurement angle to the sample's gloss range: use 20° for high gloss, 60° for standard gloss, and 85° for low gloss. Ensure the instrument complies with ASTM D523/ISO 2813 standards, and the probe should fit curved or narrow surface profiles. Consider portability and the stability of the calibration plate.

Determination of specular gloss: Selection criteria for instruments at different angles (20°/60°/85°)
Specular gloss is a measure of a material's ability to reflect light, calculated by comparing the reflected luminous flux of a sample with that of a standard plate. Three angles—20°, 60°, and 85°—are commonly used for measurement, corresponding to high-gloss, medium-gloss, and low-gloss surfaces, respectively.
Key Points for Operating Vacuum Adsorption Coating Machines on Flexible Substrates
Vacuum adsorption coating technology is a key process in flexible electronics, functional coatings, and the preparation of new materials. This technique uses vacuum negative pressure to ensure that flexible substrates are smoothly and evenly adsorbed onto the coating platform. Combined with precision coating, it effectively reduces defects such as wrinkles and bubbles, thereby enhancing the uniformity and consistency of the coating.
