ASTM D1455 Standard Test Method for 60 Degree Specular Gloss Emulsion Floor Polish

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D1455 standard. The ASTM D1455 standard covers the determination of the 60° specular gloss of emulsion floor polish films after application to a substrate.

Specular shine is one of the few related appearance properties that creates a sense of shine. Therefore, specular gloss measurements may not always correlate well with visual rankings of luminance.

This test method can be used to evaluate the difference in gloss of dried films of emulsion floor varnishes when reflected light at an angle of 60° is measured. Extremely high or low gloss finishes may not be distinguishable at an angle of 60°. Angle A523° measured according to Test Method D20 can give a better definition of brightness.

Specular shine is one of the few related appearance properties that creates a sense of shine. Therefore, specular gloss measurements may not always correlate well with visual rankings of luminance.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
