Haze is a measurement of a materials’ light scattering characteristics. The haze effect can be due to the suspension of particles or contaminants within a fine textured surface and contaminants within the sample.
In applications such as packaging, hazy films can affect a consumers first impression
and reduce their quality perception, especially if the packaged product looks cloudy
or indistinct. For materials with haze, the visibility of the plastic appears more
apparent, and the contrast of viewed objects, behind the plastic, decreases, as shown
in the split “low haze on left -
.
Transmission is the measurement of the total amount of light that passes through a chosen material that is influenced by reflective properties and by absorption. In the industry, the transmission measurement is related to the opacity of the material and/or the hiding power of applied coatings.
The Novo TX Haze Meter is designed to measure haze, and transmittance in a single instrument.
