The model RT-6000 is a simple-to-use, offline instrument that indicates relative opacity of plastic film, paper laminates, printed packaging and other materials. With a single pass of the light source through the material, the system measures relative light transmission on a scale of 0 to 100 Opacity Units, representing perfectly transparent to purely opaque materials, respectively.

As it helps control opacity quality, the RT- 6000 also helps save money on colourants, inks and other additives, the most expensive components in the production of plastic film and other packaging materials. The RT-6000 also allows to more cost-effectively evaluate, select and adjust the use of colourants.

Built for intuitive operation, this opacity metre is simple to use, minimising the chance of operator error. It is small, lightweight and portable. It features potentiometer calibration, requiring infrequent calibration and a large digital display for easy legibility.

The RT-6000 is durably constructed with a metal enclosure, lid and hardware. It also features improved electronics and mechanical design. Replacing the occasional bulb is a quick job, thanks to the simplified design of the easy-to-remove top panel.

The RT-6000 is indirectly traceable with each colour class to the Flexible Packaging Association’s Specifications B-2.
