BYK-Gardner cloud-runner mottling meter is designed to objectively measure mottling (irregular lightness variations) on metallic and effect coatings — a common defect that disturbs the overall color harmony of effect finishes. The instrument simulates visual evaluation under different observing angles and characterizes clouds/mottles by their size and visibility. PT Jaya Warindo Abadi (JWA) is an authorized distributor of the cloud-runner mottling meter across Indonesia.
Key features: small and lightweight design for easy one-hand operation, variable scan length up to 100 cm, menu-guided operation via scroll wheel with large multilingual display, full statistics, large memory, USB port, and docking station for data transfer to PC and battery recharging. Ideal for mottling control on production lines and in the field — objective evaluation independent of lighting and viewing conditions.
The mottle chart enables easy Pass/Fail analysis: data is analyzed by color with specific texture values (e.g., fine silver: approximately -4, coarse silver: around +3). An overall Mottle Index can be set to indicate Pass – Warning – Fail limits. The smart-chart software provides powerful standard management for defining all essential appearance parameters with Pass/Fail tolerances, including organizer for clear sample identification and menu-guided operation on the instrument. Product schematics help define specific sampling procedures.
