In the plastic manufacturing industry, optical properties like transparency and haze are critical for product quality. A haze meter with a full 0-100% transmittance range ensures accurate testing across a wide variety of plastic products, from highly transparent films to glass and masterbatches etc.
Why Transmittance Range Matters
Plastics products vary in transparency based on their composition, thickness, and processing methods. A haze meter with a complete transmittance range allows manufacturers to test materials with different levels of transparency. For example:
• High-transparency plastics (e.g., optical lenses, acrylic panels) require precise transmittance measurement to ensure maximum clarity.
• Semi-transparent materials (e.g., light diffusers, packaging films) need balanced haze and light diffusion for optimal performance.
• Opaque plastics still require haze testing for surface quality and consistency checks.
Ensuring Reliable Quality Control
A haze meter with 0-100% transmittance capability ensures consistency in manufacturing by detecting even minor variations in haze and transparency. This is essential for industries like automotive, electronics, medical devices, and food packaging, where optical performance directly impacts functionality.
Meeting Industry Standards
Modern haze meters comply with ASTM D1003 and ISO 13468 standards, ensuring globally accepted measurement accuracy. Whether testing raw plastic sheets or finished products, a high-precision haze meter helps maintain uniform quality and enhances product reliability.
For manufacturers seeking accurate, repeatable, and standards-compliant optical testing, investing in a haze meter with a full transmittance range is essential.
