Profile

High quality surfaces are expected to have a clear and brilliant appearance. The BYK-Gardner haze-gloss is the laboratory reference instrument for gloss and haze measurement. The portable micro-haze plus is the ideal QC solution for high gloss surfaces by measuring 20° gloss and reflection haze.

The Micro-Gloss has been the unsur­passed indus­try stan­dard in gloss mea­sure­ment for many years. It is the only gloss­me­ter com­bin­ing high­est accu­racy, ease-of-use and mul­ti­ple func­tio­n­al­ity - essen­tial for today`s test­ing require­ments.

• For any material: paint, plastic or even mirror-like metals
• All angles measure at the same location, and the results appear simultaneously
• Intelligent auto diagnosis guarantees always accurate readings
• Easy scroll wheel operation with multilingual menu
• Statistics, Pass/Fail and Memory - ideal for QC and checks in the field.

Portable Gloss Meters for any task - Single angle units for specific applications or three angle instruments for multiple applications. The micro-gloss ease-of-use and intelligent auto diagnosis ensures always reliable and long-term stable results.

Colors appear differently under different lighting conditions. Make your choice between a complete line of light booths for small and large parts. For effect finishes a light booth is available that simulates different viewing angles and direct sunlight for sparkle evaluation.

Mottling is an undesired effect which is most obvious on light metallic finishes. These irregular lightness variations can now be objectively measured with the cloud-runner. Small design, ease-of-use and fast data collection make the mottling meter the ideal tool for batch approval and process control.

Convert the DISPERMAT® dissolver into a vacuum dissolver, a homogenizer, a bead mill, a basket mill and a dissolver for very high viscosity and non-flowing substances

Appearance of transparent products is dependent on their scattering properties. BYK-Gardner haze meters are widely used for appearance measurement of transparent materials such as films, plaques, plastic products, lenses or windshields. The haze-gard is available for standard methods according to ASTM and ISO. 

BYK-Gardner offers a complete line of visual color comparators as well as reliable spectrophotometers to objectively measure color and yellowness of transparent liquids.

• For flat and curved surfaces (radius larger than 30 cm) like bumper, gas tank door or motorcycle parts
• Minimum sample size 25 x 40 mm
• Classical LW, SW and customer specific scales
• Structure spectrum to analyze appearance changes for optimization
• Dullness and DOI measurement independent of the paint system.

The feeding press with integral control panel uses a pressure piston to force the product through the milling chamber. The DISPERMAT® SL supply vessel is removed and replaced with a solid stainless steel vessel (capacity 500 ml or 1000 ml). After pouring the material into the vessel (if necessary, with a spatula), the press is attached to the vessel with a quick clamping ring.
