Contact Angle Meter
  |
With simple, reliable and consistent operation, you will quickly determine surface energy measurements to help in coating operations of all types.
ChemInstruments “Tantec” CAM-Plus contact angle meter provides:
-
Easy “half angle” determination
-
Operator independent consistent measurements
-
Dyne level readings from 10 to 70
-
Easy finite liquid dispensing employs delicate liquid placement (sessile drop)
-
Bright clear image on a large screen for display
-
Remote light source keeps heat away from sample
-
Platform configurations for small samples, films, or printed circuit boards (PCB), plastic ball grip array (PBGA’s).
What is Surface Energy?
Answer: Surface energy is most evident in how a surface interacts with an applied liquid.
Like color and texture, surface energy is a physical property. When paint is applied to a sheet of glass, it will typically “ball up” because it does not stick well to the surface. This is surface energy in action. Conversely when liquid is applied to a different material and disperses, this is also surface energy.
The CAM-Plus provides a method, “half angle”, for quantifying this energy relative to other measurements on other surfaces. With this information, prediction of a surface reaction to coatings is possible and eliminates costly trial and error methods.
CAM-Plus is designed for test methods: ASTM D20.19, D724, D5946, and TAPPI T458 cm-94.
