Novo-Gloss Dualgloss 20/60°
The Novo-Gloss Dualgloss is perfect for basic gloss measurement and is best suited for mid to high gloss surfaces (70+ GU @60°)

60° is referred to as the universal measurement angle and is the most commonly specified geometry in applications such as paints, coatings, plastics, automotive interiors and general manufacturing. It can be used as a basic gloss assessment for any surface

20° is the angle selected for high gloss applications such as paints and coatings, polished metals as it gives an improved resolution for high gloss finishes. It is also more sensitive to haze effects that affect the appearance of a surface.

Small light and portable, with onboard statistics and the ability to download reading to Novo-Soft, the 20/60° instrument is perfect for factory, outdoor or laboratory applications
High Gloss Surfaces
A limitation of the 20/60° geometry is that it is has limited sensitivity to surface effects such as haze and visible textures such as orange peel. When present these effects will reduce the visual quality of high gloss surfaces but will have little or no effect on measured 60° gloss values

The best solution for high gloss surfaces is a Rhopoint IQ 20/60° or IQ 20/60/85°, this directly measures haze and texture effects which are present in many applications
Low Gloss Surfaces
Whilst adequate for many applications, the 20/60° geometry has low measurement resolution at gloss levels < 10GU. This means that two matt surfaces which have visually different surfaces may have minimal differences in values when measured using this geometry.

For matt surfaces (<10GU @60°) an instrument with the 85 degree geometry should be used 20/60/85° Novo-Gloss Trio or Rhopoint IQ 20/60/85°
Fast measurement of all parameters. Full on-board statistics with graphical trend analysis and reporting
