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.
