Determine particle count and concentration as well as particle size distribution of pigments by SPLS technology. Exploit the advantages of optical and complementary X-ray STEP technology for the detemination of the particle size distribution at higher concentrations, of the particle density and particle surface properties, based on the Hansen Solubility / Dispersibility Parameters. Understand particle dispersibility as well as the separation stability of suspensions and emulsions with metals and nonmetals. Real-time and accelerated stability testing as well as prediction of shelf life is enabled. Several ISO guidelines and norms/standards are applied. Examples include nanoparticle and microparticle size distributions, emulsifier selection for metal working fluids, stability testing of release agents, emulsion stability of rolling oils. Centrifugal adhesion testing technology is applied for tensile and shear testing of coatings on various substrates and for composites. The advantages compared to a tensile testing machine include a much shorter measuring time for 8 samples in parallel, no sample clamping needed, and a large force range to be applied in a single Adhesion Analyser. For coated particles and coatings on metal substrates kindly also see Coatings & Surfaces.
