Comprehensive Wetting and Coating Analysis
The Expert version of the DSA30 Drop Shape Analyzer by Krüss is designed for comprehensive analysis of solids and liquids in wetting and coating processes. Its high automation level and programmable features deliver reliable, user-independent contact angle and surface tension results. This makes the DSA30E an ideal choice for quality control environments while its versatility for controlling thermal conditions and analyzing the solid/liquid contact benefits R&D applications extensively.
Applications and Features
The system is adept at quality assurance of activation processes, such as plasma, flame, or corona treatment, and excels in the analysis of wettability of various materials including plastics, glass, ceramics, and metals. It evaluates the effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings, analyzes the homogeneity of cleanliness, and measures differences between treated and untreated areas under controlled temperature or humidity conditions. The DSA30E’s ability to perform a wide range of measurements makes it a versatile tool for multiple scientific and industrial applications.
Automated and Precise Measuring
Equipped with a high-resolution camera and a high-quality zoom lens, the DSA30E ensures an accurate representation of the drop for precise contact angle or surface tension measurements. The instrument’s software-controlled axes enable automated and complete sample analyses, checking for homogeneity or assessing differences between coated and uncoated areas. The ADVANCE software facilitates easy creation of automation programs for standard procedures, enhancing the instrument’s repeatability and comprehensiveness in adhesion analysis.
