Whiteness Index

The Whiteness Index is a numerical measurement used to describe how white or bright a material appears, particularly in fields like textiles and coatings. It considers factors like brightness and reflectance to provide an objective value indicating whiteness level. Higher values mean the material appears whiter or brighter to the human eye. This index helps manufacturers ensure consistency in product appearance and compare different materials for quality and visual appeal. It’s a standardized way to quantify whiteness beyond just visual assessment, making it useful for quality control and formulation in various industries.
