The PGX+ measures contact angle (dynamic and static), surface tension, and surface energy. The PGX+ makes a drop in μl according to the size that is set. The drop is automatically released and 80 images per second are made. The instrument is used for paper & board, solar cell panels, windshields, metal cylinders and similar surfaces. For most tests deionized water is used, however using other liquids is also possible. Contact us if you want to use any other liquids.
Full Control
The PGX+ is the ideal instrument to perform dynamic tests like absorption tests. During a test, the apparatus is connected to the computer. Special software gives an accessible overview of the possible tests, giving the operator full control. Droplet size, method of deposit, start delay, and sample rate are just some of the adjustable parameters.
No Sample Preparation
The PGX+ Pocket Goniometer provides a mini test environment and can be placed directly onto the sample surface. It is unnecessary to prepare special samples. A test is typically performed with deionized water. However, using other liquids is also possible.
Analysis
Test data is transferred to the computer immediately. Pictures and data can be stored and analyzed. This direct feedback allows for quickly adjusting the test set-up. Adjustments to improve the results can be made instantly. The test results can provide insight into the level of contamination, adhesion, surface energy, and printability of a surface.
