- Quality assurance and optimization of activation processes such as plasma treatment, flame treatment, or corona treatment before coating or bonding
- Analyzing the wettability of plastics, glass, ceramics, wood, paper, or metal
- Analyzing surface cleanliness
- Wetting analysis at controlled temperature
MEASURING METHODS
- Contact angle of a drop on a solid surface
- Contact angle using a gas bubble beneath a solid surface in a liquid
- Contact angles of two drops dosed in parallel
- 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
- Roll-off behavior and advancing/receding contact angle of a drop on a tilted surface
- Carrying out a measurement up to 20 consecutive times and displaying the results together
- Remote control of ADVANCE for integration in custom-designed, complex automations
MEASURING RESULTS
- Static contact angle
- Advancing and receding contact angle
- Contact angle using a bubble in a liquid
- Surface free energy (SFE) according to the following models: Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK), Fowkes, Wu, Zisman, Equation of State
- Temperature
