KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid Portable droplet Shape Analyzer
Product Introduction of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid Portable Droplet Shape Analyzer
The MSA Flexible Liquid portable droplet shape analyzer can automatically measure the contact Angle by taking any suitable test liquid when measuring solid samples. Non-destructive measurement and analysis of formulations such as inks, coatings or adhesives are conducted to evaluate their wetting behavior in actual processes.
Product features of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid Portable Droplet Shape Analyzer:
Software-controlled injection ensures precise droplet volume and good repeatability
The optics and algorithms are the same as those of the high-end series, with high measurement accuracy
Surface energy and contact Angle are recommended standard configurations, with balanced functions
Expandable inclined table, temperature control, multi-liquid drop setting, etc
Compact in size and high in cost performance
Measurement method of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid portable droplet shape analyzer:
The contact Angle of droplets on a solid surface
Calculate the surface energy of solids through contact Angle data
The surface tension is calculated by the curvature of the symmetrical droplets formed on the circular sample base
Perform up to 20 consecutive measurements and display the results together
Measurement results of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid portable droplet shape analyzer:
Static contact Angle
The surface free energy is measured according to the following model: Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK), Fowkes, Wu, Zisman, Equation of State
Application of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid Portable Droplet Shape Analyzer:
Analyze the wetting behavior of formulations such as coatings, coatings or adhesives on solid materials
Check the wettability of plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, paper or metal
Quality assurance of the activation process, such as plasma treatment, corona treatment or flame treatment
Test the effects of hydrophobic coatings and other coatings
Measurement of large workpieces and finished products (such as automotive parts, aircraft parts or airframes)
Practical application of KRUSS MSA Flexible Liquid Portable droplet Shape Analyzer:
Surface treatment of wood
To optimize the measurement of surface tension and contact Angle for wood protection and bonding
The wettability of contact lenses
Contact Angle measurement for the research and development of biocompatible materials and quality assurance
Wetting and coating of textiles
To optimize the measurement of contact Angle and surface tension of functional textile coatings
Bond with glass
The contact Angle and surface tension of glass during cleaning and coating
Bond with polymers
Contact Angle and surface tension measurement: for optimizing plastic coatings
The application of surfactants
Interfacial chemical measurement methods are used in the research and development of surfactants and their technical applications
The contact Angle is automatically measured between the fingers and palms
High-quality cameras, lighting systems and software-controlled titration devices - the portable droplet shape analyzer MSA Flexible Liquid integrates all the conditions required to achieve reliable contact Angle measurement. Due to the extremely small size of the instrument, it can be placed at any position on large workpieces for measurement without the need for cutting and sampling.
After quick filling, just press a button and the wettability can be measured within seconds.
It is suitable for wetting analysis of almost all liquids
When you want to know the wetting behavior of a formulation with an unknown surface tension rather than a standard test solution, the portable droplet shape analyzer MSA Flexible Liquid is your ideal choice.
The measurement results show the behavior of liquids on solid substrates, which helps optimize the surface properties of paints, adhesives and other liquids, as well as solid materials. The utilization of disposable syringes has solved the problem of contaminating or hardening liquids.
The multi-functional automated software offers a variety of assessment solutions
The ADVANCE software equipped on the instrument features comprehensive and intuitive automation options, which can fully control the titration process, accurately and reliably analyze the droplet images, and automatically export the evaluation results. Just press the measurement button of the instrument to run the entire program. The ADVANCE software can determine the surface free energy of a substrate by measuring the contact Angle of two droplets (two or more test liquids with known characteristics) on the substrate surface. It is worth noting that the polarity of the surface determines the effectiveness of pretreatment methods such as plasma treatment.
