Gloss, Haze and DOI

Rhopoint offer a variety of products for testing gloss, haze and DOI.

For measuring gloss of flat surfaces; our Novo-Gloss gloss meter range is an
ideal choice. We offer a range of products for testing all finish levels from
matt to mirror. All Novo-Gloss glossmeters are supplied with a calibration tile;
both this and the instrument have calibration certificates included in the
price. The gloss meter instruments themselves are incredibly easy to use whilst
offering advanced features such as software-free data transfer, graphing of
statistics, batching and pass/fail.

For high gloss surfaces that exhibit other texture effects, our Rhopoint IQ
instrument measures not only gloss but also reflectance haze (the ‘milkiness’ of
a surface) but DOI (distinctness of image) and RIQ (reflected image quality) DOI
and RIQ are measures of orange peel within a painted or high gloss finish.

Liquid coatings

In this range, our flagship product is the MFFT (Minimum Film Forming
Temperature) instrument. Trusted by the leading coatings manufacturers, the
Rhopoint MFFT can be found in the R&D labs of most of these companies worldwide.
The Rhopoint MFFT is used to determine the minimum film forming temperature and
white point in paint and coatings such as water based coatings, polymer
dispersions, synthetic latexes and emulsion.

We also offer viscosity flow cups – Afnor, BS, ISO, ASTM/Ford, DIN and Frikmar
flow cups in all orifice sizes with certificates of conformity.

Packaging Test instruments

Rhopoint offer a range of test instruments for measuring flexible packaging. The
products are designed to provide manufacturers and users of flexible packaging
material with consistently faster packaging speeds with the same batch to batch
quality.

Produced under the brand name of Hanatek, our instruments are designed to be
used in both research and development and production environments in numerous
industries including: plastic film, carton board, paper, corrugated board,
textile, inks and coatings, labels etc.

Parameters measured include friction, thickness, board stiffness, crease
recovery and film shrink.

Surface Analysis

Our Optimap and TAMS products characterise common surface irregularities
including defects, waviness and roughness

The Rhopoint TAMS™ can measure and map surfaces at all stages of paint processes
from raw material to final topcoat. Map and measure surface quality

With the Optimap PSD, quantify faults such as orange peel, waviness and DOI.
Results are displayed in industry compatible units ( K, Ka, Kb, Kc, Kd, Ke )

Imaging Transmission

The Rhopoint ID characterises the transparency of a material in a single
measurement. Measured parameters are haze, transmission haze (ASTM D1003
correlaton) clarity and sharpness – a new parameter which matches human
perception. One of the key features of the Rhopoint ID is that it can measure
curved samples and small sample sizes that cannot be measured with a traditional
haze meter which means the product is ideal for use not just for the measurement
of sheeted plastic film but also products such as PET bottles, visors and glass.
