Fast, automatic, and non-destructive wetting analysis with your liquids of choice
to read more details
In the Flexible Liquid configuration, the MSA Mobile Surface Analyzer carries out automated contact angle measurements between freely selectable liquids on solid samples. The focus lies on non-destructive analysis with formulations such as inks, coatings, or adhesives, to evaluate their wetting behavior in real process.
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
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
Static contact angle
Surface free energy (SFE) according to the following models: Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK), Fowkes, Wu, Zisman, Equation of State
A quality camera, lighting, and a software-controlled dosing unit – everything necessary for reliable contact angle measurement is integrated in a light, hand-held device: the MSA Flexible Liquid. With its very small footprint, the instrument can be placed on large workpieces in any spatial orientation without the need to cut them to size. After quickly inserting and filling a cartridge, wetting behavior can be measured within seconds by just pressing a button.
