The gloss of plastic is a physical quantity of the ability of the plastic surface to reflect light. The surface gloss of different plastic products is different. The factors that affect the Plastic gloss meter are mainly as follows.

1. Selection of plastic raw materials

The reasonable selection of plastic raw materials is the basic factor to improve the surface gloss of plastic products. The selection of raw materials is good. It is easy to improve the gloss; otherwise, it is more difficult.

2. Selection of lubricant additives

The reason why the lubricant can lubricate is because its addition reduces the friction of the plastic melt, which is divided into two types: internal friction and external friction. Accordingly, there are internal lubricants and external lubricants.

3. Measuring angle

The angle of plastic gloss measurement will also cause a deviation in the gloss value we get. In order to make our judgment on the gloss of the plastic surface more accurate, we need to measure it with a professional gloss meter.

The above are some of the factors that affect the glossiness of plastics summarized by the manufacturers of Plastic gloss meter. I hope they can help you.
