To determine haze, haze meters are used in multiple industries such as plastic, glass, film, coating, and displays. This ensures that all optical quality of the product is in the appropriate specification, including aesthetic compliance and meeting the intercontinental quality standards.

Spectrophotometers can only measure haze if it has haze measuring capabilities, as many measure color and transmittance.

Now our testing machines have been sold to more than 80 countries, like USA, Canada, Russia,UK, Italy, Germany, European , India, Pakistan, Philippine, Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand , Vietnam, Korea,Saudi Arabia,Brazil...and so on. We sell to the global market.

Daylight, store light, home light, and UV fluorescence light sources are included in Pantone light boxes as D65, TL84, CWF, A, and UV. 

An 18% gray background reduces distractions and color bias, helping in a more accurate assessment.

Samples should be cleaned, dried, and scratched-free to obtain consistent haze measurements.

The number of reflected light is a measure assigned by a gloss meter as a gloss unit (GU). It is a normalized quantity in which 100 GU is normally a perfect reflection at 60°, and 0° GU is a full diffusion.

You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.

To keep the light box calibrated and to ensure accurate and steady lighting, clean the inside, replace the lamps when needed, check the calibration and record the hours use

Plastics, glasses, films, coatings, and packaging materials are common uses of hazemeter to monitor consistency and quality.
