- Analyzing the wetting behavior of formulations such as paints, coatings, or adhesives on solid materials
- Checking wettability of plastics, glass, ceramics, wood, paper, or metal
- Quality assurance of activation processes such as plasma treatment, flame treatment, or corona treatment
- Testing the effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings and other coatings
- Measurement on large workpieces and finished products such as car bodies, aircraft parts, or walls
MEASURING METHODS
- Contact angle of a drop on a solid surface
- Surface free energy of a solid using contact angle data
- Surface tension using the curvature of a perfectly symmetrical drop on a circular sample pedestal
- Carrying out a measurement up to 20 consecutive times and displaying the results together
MEASURING RESULTS
- Static contact angle
- Surface free energy (SFE) according to the following models: Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK), Fowkes, Wu, Zisman, Equation of State
