Color measurement of foils, films and plastic plates
Is a film clear or milky, translucent, transparent or cloudy? The appearance of a film differs depending on the raw material, composition and intended use. Spectrophotometers can precisely determine the amount of light that is transmitted, absorbed or scattered. With measurement technology from HunterLab, deviations are detected quickly and costs are minimized. In stationary haze/color measurement devices, samples of (technical) foils, films or plates are subjected to standard-compliant quality control, while foils on rolls are tested in real time using online/inline measuring devices.

Application example:
The Vista from HunterLab offers the perfect solution for determining exact color values and the haze value of films at the same time.The color quality of plastic films is a decisive factor for manufacturers in the packaging industry, medical technology, coatings and building materials. Particularly with transparent films - such as thermoplastic polyurethane films (TPU films) - the determination of haze plays a central role in addition to the exact color measurement in transmission. Standards such as ASTM D1003 specify how the haze measurement is to be carried out. For quality assurance, this means that color values and haze must be determined reliably, quickly and in accordance with...
