Kaitlin Carroll, senior materials scientist at Brighton Science, discusses second generation water contact angle technology.
Water contact angle is a technique used for decades to understand surfaces, providing an objective measurement that can be correlated with adhesion performance. Cleaning, treating, and other surface preparation processes can be improved and controlled using water contact angle to achieve predictable performance.
Second generation water contact angle technology provides a cloud-connected, real-time method for gauging surface quality prior to bonding, coating, sealing, and painting. This Industry 4.0 technology provides a means for process improvement and process monitoring to maintain quality bonds at facilities across the globe.
With 20+ years of scientific and engineering expertise in bonding and adhesion, and a suite of diagnostic tools, Brighton Science gives manufacturers an unprecedented level of convenience—clear and fast answers, consistency—the ability to anticipate and assure material performance and confidence—proven ways to improve quality and processes and deliver better products.
