How to assess the surface gloss of fabric?

The glossiness of fabric refers to the ability of its surface to reflect light, which directly affects the appearance quality and appearance of fabric products. Therefore, measuring the gloss of fabrics is a very important quality control task to ensure that fabric articles have a visually consistent high-quality appearance. By measuring the gloss of the fabric, its applicability and performance in textile production can be determined, and at the same time, it can be checked whether the quality of the fabric product meets the standard requirements. In addition, the gloss of the fabric can also be combined with the adjustment of the textile process to achieve better fabric surface quality and appearance, providing higher value and aesthetics for textiles.

The application of the gloss meter in textile coating is to measure the gloss of the fabric surface, and is usually used to evaluate the surface gloss, quality and appearance of the fabric. Textile coatings include various types of textiles such as silk, cotton, polyester, and their coatings. The following are the measurement steps of the gloss meter in the textile coating:

Prepare the sample: Cut a sample approximately 2-3 inches from the textile coating and lay it flat on the test area of the gloss meter.

Adjust the gloss meter: follow the operation manual of the gloss meter, turn on the device and adjust the parameters, such as light, angle and test time, etc.

Taking a measurement: After adjusting the gloss meter, place it on the sample and press the test button to measure. After the measurement is completed, the device will automatically display the gloss of the sample.

Repeated measurements: If more accurate results are required, multiple measurements can be taken and averaged.

Data processing: According to the need, the data can be exported to a computer or other equipment for further processing and analysis.

NBCHAO reminds you: In the measurement of textile coatings, factors such as sample quality, preparation and measurement conditions may affect the test results, so these factors need to be carefully controlled to ensure the accuracy of the results.
