1. Gloss tester test plastic materials gloss

The glossiness of plastic materials mainly depends on the surface refractive index and surface smoothness. When the refractive index of the plastic material is high and the surface is smooth, the light is mainly mirror reflection, then the gloss is high; otherwise, if the light is diffuse reflection, the gloss is poor. The raw material composition and manufacturing process of plastic materials are the main factors affecting the surface gloss. In order to control the gloss quality of plastic materials, you can use a gloss tester.

2. Gloss tester test sailing ship hull gloss

Sailboat surfaces are usually painted to maintain aesthetics and durability. The new boat with gel coat layer looks beautiful. After two or three years of use, its appearance gradually fades and loses its luster.

In order to ensure the appearance quality and safety performance of the sailboat, the gloss tester can be used to detect the gloss quality of the hull during the sailboat manufacturing process.

3. Gloss tester test clay teapot gloss

Silk pots of the Qing Dynasty have been brewing for a long time, the tires are dark in color. The surface of the utensils has a deep and restrained luster. The appearance quality of the clay teapots produced in different periods is different. The appearance quality of the clay teapots can be judged by measuring the surface gloss. The traditional gloss evaluation method is to observe directly with the naked eye. Due to the influence of the light source, the observation conditions and the observer's own subjective factors, there may be a large deviation in the evaluation results of the purple teapot gloss. Therefore, if you want to identify the gloss quality of the clay teapot, you need to use a special gloss tester.

4. Gloss tester test glossy card gloss

For commercial prints mainly based on art pictures, trademark decoration, etc. In order to make the color of the finished product bright and pleasing to the eye, it is often necessary to use paper with high gloss.

If you want to accurately assess the gloss of the glossy card and control the appearance quality, you can use the gloss tester to detect it.

5. Gloss tester test stage gloss quality

For professional indoor stage venues, not only the lighting need to be strictly designed and installed, but also the platform surface gloss. If the stage gloss is insufficient, the color will appear dim. If the stage background gloss is too high, it will also cause strong stimulation to the observer's vision.

8. Gloss tester test rubber boat gloss

Gloss is a characteristic of the rubber boat surface. When light shines on the dinghy surface, refraction occurs at various angles. People can feel its luster characteristics from different angles. Rubber boats are a commonly used water vehicle. Due to the difference in raw materials and manufacturing processes, their appearance gloss will be deviated. In order to accurately determine the surface gloss of the rubber boat, it can be measured by gloss tester.

9. Gloss tester test helmet gloss

When purchasing helmets, users not only pay attention to helmet materials and safety performance, but also are affected by paint coloring quality and gloss performance.
