Gloss has been defined as the attribute of a surfaces that causes it to have a shiny or lustrous, metallic appearance.

The gloss of a surface can be greatly influenced by a number of factors, for example the smoothness achieved during polishing, the amount and type of coating applied or the quality of the substrate. Manufacturers design their products to have maximum appeal. Such examples are; highly reflective car body panels, glossy magazine covers or satin black designer furniture. Now what happens when products all of a sudden look different? Customers see this as a defect, or poor quality. Using a glossmeter and having good quality control practices eliminates this variable as a problem.

It is important therefore that gloss levels be consistent on every product or across different batches of products. Gloss can also be a measure of the quality of a surface, for instance a drop in the gloss of a coated surface may indicate problems with its cure- leading to other failures such as poor adhesion or lack of protection for the coated surface.

Gloss measurements depend on the gloss level. Gloss meters are either specific for the paint or multilevel ones.

If Semi Gloss - 10 to 70 GU Measurement Angle: 60 °
If High Gloss > 70 GU Measurement Angle: 20 °
If Low Gloss < 10 GU Measurement Angle: 85 °

Reference information:
・艶(つや)消し塗料
物体の表面に当たった光の正反射の量が多いほど光沢のある輝きが増し、逆に正反射の量を減らして光を拡散させることで、艶がない落ちついたイメージを人に与えます。艶消し仕上げのことをマット仕上げとも呼びます。
艶消し塗料は、光沢の出にくい樹脂を選択するほかに、塗膜表面を凹凸にして拡散反射しやすくするために、添加剤を加え艶を調整します。
塗料の場合、光沢度が70以上で艶あり、これより低くなると7分(ななぶ)艶、5分(半)艶、3分艶と表現されます。色むらは艶消しと艶ありが目立ちにくく、5分艶くらいが一番目立ちます。
 艶消し塗料の耐久性は、一般的に7分艶塗料の場合で、艶あり塗料の耐久性の7割、3分艶塗料の場合は3割程度と、艶の程度との比例関係を目安として考えます。

光沢 (Luster)
塗装面が光を受けて輝くことを言う。一般的には光沢計をもちいて測定する。

光沢度の単位
ISO及びJIS規格により、%もしくは数字のみでよいと規定されています。また記録する場合は、原則として測定角度・測定メーカー名・型式を明記することになっています。もちろん測定は光沢計を使用し、光沢度の基準と比較した数値で表します。
