Integrating Sphere Color Difference Gloss Meter

The integrating sphere color difference and gloss meter uniformly diffuses light through its built-in spherical cavity to measure the surface reflectance and color data of objects. It is used in industries such as coatings and plastics to detect product color differences and gloss levels, ensuring consistency in appearance between batches.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, ensuring the gloss measurement angle suits the surface texture, verifying the instrument's calibration stability for data repeatability, and confirming that the software functions meet the requirements of industry-standard color difference formulas.

Multi-angle colorimeter detects color changes in pearlescent coatings.
Pearlescent coatings contain special flake pigments that produce color effects that vary with the viewing angle, known as "goniochromism." Traditional single-angle measurements struggle to accurately capture this characteristic.
Haze meter detects haze on high-gloss coating surfaces
Haze is the phenomenon where a high-gloss coating surface causes a blurring of reflected images due to light scattering, which reduces visual clarity. A haze meter quantifies the haze value by measuring the intensity ratio between the specularly reflected light and the scattered light at specific small angles. The lower the value, the clearer the surface.
