Rhopoint IQ ( Goniophotometer )20º/60º/85º

The Rhopoint IQ uses reflectance profiles to calculate gloss, haze and DOI values with a single button click allowing the user to fully evaluate surface finish.

The Rhopoint IQ can help with the following quality issues:
Orange Peel
Raw material incompatibility
Poor dispersion
Reticulation
Additive Migration
Appearance Changes during Curing, Stoving or Drying 

Industries and applications
Rhopoint IQ is ideal in the metal finishing and automotive industries. It can also be used for any painted, powder coated or polished metal product where a high quality homogeneous finish is required.

 The Rhopoint IQ quantifies surface quality problems that are invisible to a standard glossmeter. This incredibly advanced instrument measures:

20/60/85° GLOSS • HAZE • DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE • RSPEC
In practice, these terms mean:
Gloss: Surface shininess
Haze: An optical effect caused by microscopic textures or residue on a surface.
DOI: A measure of how clearly a reflected image will appear in a reflective surface.
RSPEC: The peak gloss value over a very narrow angle.
DOI results can be used to quantify application problems such as orange peel.
Orange peel and other textures can be directly measured using DOI, measuring this value can also tell us about flow and levelling of samples in the laboratory
