In its Expert configuration, the DSA25 Drop Shape Analyzer is designed for determining the wettability of solids by means of the contact angle as well as the surface tension of liquids such as coating substances or adhesives. Thanks to the combination of speed and versatile evaluation options, the analyses give quick feedback to pretreatment steps in quality control but also allow assessing the resulting adhesion.

From one-click wettability measurement to analysis of solid-liquid adhesion
