GLOSS, HAZE & SURFACE APPEARANCE: ADVANCED OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION
Precision Solutions for Surface Quality
At LMS Scientific, we understand that the visual appeal and functional performance of a product are defined by its surface properties. Our range of CHN Spec Gloss and Haze Meters provides manufacturers with the objective data needed to control reflections, clarity, and texture. From high-gloss automotive finishes to the specialized transparency requirements of flexible packaging, our instruments ensure your products meet the most rigorous aesthetic and technical standards.
Why Surface Appearance Testing Matters
- Consistency: Maintain uniform gloss levels across multi-part assemblies and different production batches.
- Compliance: Meet international standards including ISO 2813, ASTM D523, and ASTM D1003.
- Durability Monitoring: Use gloss and haze measurement to quantify the effects of weathering, abrasion, and chemical exposure on surface integrity.
Gloss and Haze Meter Products
The DG60 Series represents the next generation of portable gloss measurement. Engineered for ergonomics and extreme accuracy, it is the go-to tool for measuring the specular reflection of paints, coatings, plastics, and metal surfaces.
The TH-100 is an essential laboratory instrument for the plastics, film, and packaging industries. It provides a comprehensive analysis of light scattering (haze) and total light transmittance for transparent and semi-transparent materials.
The CS-700 is a flagship benchtop instrument designed for the simultaneous measurement of color and haze in transparent and translucent materials. By integrating the capabilities of a high-end spectrophotometer with a professional-grade haze meter, the CS-700 eliminates the need for multiple instruments in the laboratory. It is engineered to meet the strictest international standards, providing the most accurate spectral transmittance data for industries ranging from high-tech display panels and optical glass to performance films and liquid chemicals.
