Surface tension measurement measuring instrument DSA100 Series

contact angleR&Dbenchtop

The Expert version of the DSA100 Drop Shape Analyzer system solution enables solids and liquids in wetting and coating processes to be analyzed comprehensively. The high degree of automation with easy programmable procedures provides for user-independent contact angle and surface tension results, which is ideal for the use in quality control. However, the DSA100E is also frequently used in R&D due to its versatility in controlling thermal conditions, its multi-dosing option with up to eight test liquids, and its scientific tools for analyzing the solid/liquid contact. Applications • - 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 the effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings and other coatings • - Analyzing coating liquids and adhesives and assessing their adhesion • - Assessing long-term stability of coatings • - Analyzing (super-) hydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces • - Analyzing homogeneity of cleanliness and wettability and measuring differences between coated/uncoated or treated/untreated areas • - Wetting analysis at controlled temperature and/or humidity • - Measuring surface tension of hot liquids, e.g. hotmelts
