Elcometer is pleased to announce the launch of the new Elcometer 6015 DOI Haze Meter, a user-friendly gauge for evaluating coating’s appearance quality. The Elcometer 6015 is a dual angle instrument characterizing surfaces at both 20 and 60 degrees, giving it superb resolution and the flexibility to measure any surface from matte to mirror finish.

Measuring the complex interaction of a surface with light, the Elcometer 6015 calculates:

Gloss: Measuring more accurately and giving more repeatable results than traditional gloss meters, the Elcometer 6015 compensates for curvature or positioning errors.

Haze: Micro-structures within the coating can cause the surface to be perceived as being of a lower quality. Whereas this characteristic is undetectable with a traditional gloss meter, a haze meter quantifies this numerically.

Distinctness of Image (DOI): In some conditions, traditional gloss meters quantify visibly different surfaces with the same gloss value. When these surfaces are measured using a DOI gauge, an accurate "fingerprint" of the surface is generated. DOI identifies the effect of gloss, haze, polishing marks and 'orange peel' on a coating.

Peak Specular Reflectance: Provides a value of reflectance independent of curvature, positioning of sample, haze or DOI.

Goniophotometric Profile: This graphical 'fingerprint' records subtle variations in the quality of a surface by measuring the intensity of light reflected over a range of angles.
