Surface Analysis Equipment
TANTEC's knowledge and experience in modifying
surfaces for different characteristics extends to its broad offering
of analytical instruments for measuring surface properties. Contact
angle meters from TANTEC are used to measure the degree of wettability,
predict adhesive bonding, determine the absorption rate or determine
the level of surface cleanliness. Used in divers industries from film
to food to semiconductor processing, contact angle meters help
determine the "printability" of a surface, determine how
long a cereal will sit in milk before it becomes "soggy" or
determine the cleanliness of semiconductors prior to value-added
operations. TANTEC's tensiometers are used to determine the liquid's
surface tension, helping to characterize the solubility, wetting,
bubbling, coating and permeability characteristics. These instruments
are used by leading universities, research laboratories and a variety
of functional areas in industrial companies in order to determine a
variety of surface characteristics. Just as diverse is TANTEC's
product line, offering from simple, repeatable basic instruments, to
image analysis software packages from Kyowa Interface Science (Japan)
that can be integrated into a variety of data collection programs. |
