• 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
