Explore the World of Surface Science
Welcome to the most comprehensive range of solutions in interfacial analysis. Discover all facets of this fascinating field and find the information you need.
Why do coatings fail even when dyne pen readings look fine? Why does adhesion drop despite clean-looking surfaces? The answer lies in understanding surface free energy (SFE) — a fundamental property that defines how materials interact. Join our live webinar on November 26 to explore how contact angle-based methods provide precise and reproducible SFE data far beyond what traditional test inks can offer.
Join us for an in-depth webinar that explores how advanced surface analysis and measurement techniques can transform your pharmaceutical processes and formulations. You'll gain practical strategies to overcome everyday development challenges and accelerate your path from R&D to market.

Discover Ayríís, the first instrument to measure the 3D Contact Angle. The sophisticated technology of this mobile stand-alone solution creates a new level of reliability in surface quality control.
Introducing Tensíío, the new solution for liquid and solid surfaces from the inventors of the digital tensiometer. The modular instrument is full of innovations and can do more than you think - and exactly what you need.
All our instruments, the important accessories as well as our various services at a glance: Download our overview brochure.
As the probably biggest power users of our instruments, our own Applications & Science team has enormous experience when it comes to carrying out precise analyses and finding solutions to complex tasks. With our diverse measurement services, we would like to support you with our know-how and resources.
We carry out measurements for you and help you optimize your application with advice in the fields of surface and interfacial tension, contact angle and roughness measurement, foam analysis, and interfacial rheology.
The contact angle measuring instrument MSA is exactly tailored to our needs. The cooperation - especially the support during the learning phase - was excellent. Our software ideas were taken into account in the following updates. The annual maintenance, which also includes a consulting session at the customer's site, is a successful offer that Sika likes to use extensively.

Stood-up Drop® Case Study Series – Part 12 is here! 💡
This time we dive into the world of film and foil producers for food and medical packaging, where surface properties play a key role in protecting sensitive products. 📦
🏢 At our customer’s facility, checking the barrier performance requires 12 hour MVTR tests (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate), a long and demanding process. ⏱️
⚡ But with corona treated films, something unexpected happens: MVTR can change, and the conventional contact angle (CCA) does not always show it.
So what if there was a faster way to see how surface treatment affects barrier performance?

🎬 Stood-up Drop® Case Study Series – Part 11 is on the big screen! 🍿💺
This time, our customer produces cinema screens (coated textiles) – but not every fabric was making the cut.
💡 Some fabrics delivered perfect results, while others led to defects.
❓ The problem: With the conventional contact angle (CCA), the difference stayed invisible.
So, what happens when the SUD (Stood-up Drop) steps in?
👉 Swipe through to see how the new method uncovered what the conventional contact angle couldn’t.
