Glossmeter

The SoloGloss® is our single-angle gloss tester. It’s suitable for most applications and is preferred for measurements in the semi-gloss range. The light source and the detector are positioned under an angle of 60° of the surface to be measured.

The PolyGloss® is our most advanced gloss tester. It’s a triple angle measurement device that inspects across the entire gloss spectrum from angles of 20°, 60° and 85°. For the most reliable gloss measurements on high gloss surfaces the 20° angle is ideal. When inspecting low gloss levels with high diffuse reflection, or matt surfaces, the 85° angle suits best.

Multi-angles for different applications

It is common practice to use a 60° angle glossmeter for almost every application. However, ISO 2813 advises to use the following geometries to obtain improved differentiation on high-gloss or low-gloss surfaces:

• 20° measuring angle for high-gloss surfaces where a 60° glossmeter typically indicates values higher than 70 GU.
• 85° measuring angle for low-gloss surfaces where a 60° glossmeter typically indicates values lower than 10 GU.
• The reported gloss value should always mention the measurement angle used.
