1. Introduction
- - Benchtop Reference Instrument for any application
- - Gloss and haze measurement in one unit
- - For matte to mirror like metal surfaces
2. Features
High quality surfaces are expected to have a clear and brilliant appearance. Micro structures can cause a milky appearance and is often caused by production parameters like resin type, degree of dispersion or application process. BYK-Gardner haze meters are used for years as a reference in the paint and plastic industry to ensure a brilliant quality.
- 20, 60 and 85°: from high to low gloss - always the specified angle available
- Reflection haze measurement for high gloss finishes
- For any material: paint, plastic or even mirror-like metals
- Reference beam, closed optics and self diagnosis ensure accurate quality control
- Long-term calibration and menu guided operation - simple and secure
- Foot switch and automatic measurement for fast sampling
- Illuminated target facilitates sample positioning
- Statistics with average, min/max and standard deviation
- Large storage capacity and data transfer from the hazemeter to a PC
- Create professional QC-reports with the included easy-link software
