  1. Gloss (paint)

    Paint and other finishes come in a variety of finish gloss material appearance gloss levels, which correspond to different levels of specular reflection . Some common names for levels of gloss include flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi gloss, high gloss. These terms are not standardized, and not all manufacturers use all these terms. Gloss level can be characterized by the angular distribution of light scattered from a surface, measured with goniophotometry , but there are various ways of measuring this, and different industries have different standards. ref Groupe Imbotec Group, Gloss Meter Industry Standards http www.gloss meters.com GlossIntro5.html 6 ref One manufacturer Which? date November 2009 measures gloss as percentages at an unspecified angle and gives Flat 1 9 gloss Low Sheen 10 25 gloss Eggshell 26 40 gloss Semi Gloss 41 69 gloss Gloss 70 89 gloss Painting As a gloss finish will reveal surface imperfections such as sanding marks, surfaces must generally be prepared more thoroughly for gloss finishes. Maintenance Gloss finish paints are generally more resistant to damage than flat paint, more resistant to staining, and easier to clean. Flat paint may become glossier through burnishing or staining with grease glossy paint may lose its gloss and look scratched if abraded. Unlike gloss paint, flat paint can generally be touched up locally without repainting the entire surface. Uses In traditional household interiors, walls are usually painted in flat or eggshell gloss, wooden trim including doors and window sash in high gloss, and ceilings almost invariably in flat. Similarly, exterior trim is usually painted with a gloss paint, while the body of the house is painted in a lower gloss.

Band history The band formed in the early 1990s between Jordy Mokriski and Verena Wiesendanger after Mokriski spent a year in Los Angeles writing songs. When he returned to New York City, he and Wiesendanger recorded a four track demo. The band gained a small following and began opening for artists such as Cat Power and Blonde Redhead . They appeared on KCRW s Morning Becomes Eclectic in 1999. They contributed their single The Sunburn Song to the Nickelodeon TV channel Nickelodeon television series The Adventures of Pete & Pete . Throughout the career of the band, it had been difficult to secure a drummer. Three years after the release of their debut album, the band awaited the release of their second studio album, The Falling Kind on Dirt Records. When the album was delayed, the band members decided to put the band on hiatus. Though The Falling Kind was eventually released on Dirt Records, the label has since shut down.

  1. Gloss (material appearance)

    Gloss is an optical property, which is based on the interaction of light with physical characteristics of a surface. It is actually the ability of a surface to reflect light into the specular direction. The factors that affects gloss are the refractive index of the material, the angle of incident light and the surface topography . Gloss can be said as a view of material Visual Appearance appearance . Materials with smooth surfaces appear glossy, while very rough surfaces reflect no specular light and therefore appear matt British English or matte American English . Gloss is also expressed as Lustre mineralogy lustre in mineralogy , or Gloss paint sheen in certain fields of application. Qualitative and quantitative view Surface gloss is considered to be the amount of incident light that is reflected at the specular Reflectivity reflectance angle of the mean of that surface. So, specular gloss is proportional to the reflectance of the surface. The Fresnel formula gives the specular reflectance, math R s math , for an unpolarized light of intensity physics intensity math I 0 math , at angle of incidence math i math , giving the intensity of specularly reflected beam of intensity math I r math , while the refractive index of the surface specimen is math m math . The Fresnel equation is given as follows math R s frac I r I 0 math math R s frac 1 2 left left frac cos i sqrt m 2 sin 2 i cos i sqrt m 2 sin 2 i right 2 left frac m 2 cos i sqrt m 2 sin 2 i m 2 cos i sqrt m 2 sin 2 i right ... criterion. Gloss measurement Specular reflection is measured with a specular glossmeter , and reported in gloss units . Unpolarised white light is concentrated by a Condenser heat transfer ... through a photodetector. The common angles of incidence for gloss measurement are 20 , 60 and 85 . In some cases 45 and 75 geometry is used. Low gloss surfaces are recommended to be measured with 85 settings.

  1. Glossmeter

    A glossmeter measures specular reflection . The irradiance light intensity is registered over a small range of the reflection angle. The intensity is dependent on the material and the angle of illumination. In case of non metals coatings, plastics the amount of reflected light increases with the increase of the illumination angle. The remaining illuminated light penetrates the material and is absorbed or diffusely scattered dependent on the color . Metals have a much higher reflection and are less angle dependent than non metals. A glossmeter gives the amount of reflected light from a sample, compared to that reflected from a black glass calibration standard with a defined refractive index . The result is independent of the amount of incident light . The gloss value of the reference standard is defined to be 100 gloss units . Materials with a higher refractive index can have a measurement value above 100 gloss units. For transparent materials, the gloss can be increased by multiple reflections in the bulk of the material. Due to the high reflectivity of metals, values as high as 3500 gloss units can be obtained. For these applications it is common to use percent reflection of incident light rather than gloss units. Glossmeters usage procedures, as well as their defined angles of measurement, are internationally standardized to allow comparison of measurement values. Angle of illumination is the most important criterion. To clearly differentiate between high gloss and low gloss, several different measurement angles are used, with incident angles of 20, 60, and 85 degrees the most common. The 20 degree angle is normally used for high gloss surfaces, the 60 degree angle for medium gloss surfaces, and the 85 degree angle for low gloss surfaces. Other angles of measurement are used for specific applications, such as 75 degrees for plastic film, and 45 degrees for vinyl siding. ref ASTM Paint and Coatings testing manual ISBN 0 8031 2060 5 ref ref ASTM D523 ref See also Gl ...   more details
