BYK-Gardner Micro-Gloss Meter
60° measurement is for semi-gloss paint and plastic – with the micro-gloss gloss meter you can measure any material – paints, plastics or highly reflective or mirror-like metals. All angles measure at the same location, and the results appear simultaneously – including Statistics, Difference, or Pass/Fail (ideal for QC and checks in the field)
Description
The micro-gloss has been the unsurpassed industry standard in gloss measurement for many years. It is the only gloss meter combining the highest accuracy,
ease-of-use and multiple functionality – essential for today’s testing requirements. In addition, the smart-chart software is the ideal tool for smart communication with professional documentation and efficient data analysis.

HT-1XS Hot Tack Tester
Touch Screen Precision Hot Tack Tester for determination of the hot tack seal strength of flexible packaging materials, to ASTM F1921.
In vertical (VFFS) and horizontal (HFFS) form-fill operations, heat seals are often subjected to forces whilst still hot. If the hot seals are unable to resist these forces then unsealed areas or holes into the package can occur during the process. The RDM HT-1XS Hot Tack Tester measures the strength of hot seals enabling selection and compliance testing of suitable flexible materials for packaging applications. Precise control of sealing process variables (temperature, pressure, and time) in production then enables an optimal balance between material specification, packaging machine speed and seal integrity.
