Ideal Applications Across Industries

In industries where surface gloss defines product value—from coatings, plastics, and automotive parts to furniture, printing, and metal finishing—accurate gloss measurement is critical for quality consistency.

  • Coatings & Paints: Verify gloss consistency of automotive finishes, architectural coatings, and industrial paints.

  • Plastics & Injection Molding: Ensure uniform gloss for plastic components, consumer electronics casings, and packaging.

  • Furniture & Woodworking: Inspect gloss of wooden surfaces, laminates, and varnishes.

  • Metal & Hardware: Measure gloss of polished metals, electroplated parts, and stainless steel products.

  • Printing & Packaging: Maintain consistent gloss for printed materials, film packaging, and paper products.

FAQs About YG47 Gloss meter

The number of reflected light is a measure assigned by a gloss meter as a gloss unit (GU). It is a normalized quantity in which 100 GU is normally a perfect reflection at 60°, and 0° GU is a full diffusion.


Gloss is a broad term to describe the reflectivity of a surface. Whereas high gloss is a specific term that has the highest reflectance (usually more than 70 GU). High gloss finishes are shiny, mirror-like, and exhibit more surface blemishes than lower gloss finishes.


Gloss paint can be identified by visual inspection and using a gloss meter. The high gloss paints are shiny and reflective like a mirror, satin or eggshell has a soft sheen, whereas the matte paint is non-reflective with very little or no reflection.


An 80 gloss surface will reflect less light as compared to a 100 gloss surface. Both are said to be high gloss, although 100 GU (or higher) reflects almost as much as a mirror. The distinction can be slight in graphic terms, but major in specific uses.


Gloss levels are usually of five types, namely, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss. These categories are of rising levels of reflectivity of the surface and are utilized to characterize the completion of paints, coatings, and other substances.
