Pocket Goniometer PGX+ Contact Angle Meter

Pocket Goniometer PGX+ Contact Angle Meter is a portable testing instrument used to measure contact angle, surface tension, and surface energy on various surface types. This instrument helps users evaluate wettability, adhesion potential, contamination level, printability, and surface quality before coating, printing, bonding, laminating, or surface treatment processes.

In contact angle testing, a liquid droplet is automatically applied to the sample surface, then the camera records changes in droplet shape to determine both static contact angle and dynamic contact angle. A low contact angle indicates that the surface is easier to wet, while a high contact angle indicates that the surface is more difficult to wet. This data is important for evaluating surface readiness for coating, ink, adhesive, or further treatment application.

Pocket Goniometer PGX+ has a compact and portable design, automatic droplet creation and deposit, image capture up to 80 frames per second, USB connection to a PC or laptop, and dedicated software for storing images, data, and analysis results. This instrument is suitable for testing paper and board, plastic polymers, coatings, glass, solar cell panels, windshields, metal cylinders, printing substrates, packaging materials, and other surface materials. This product is relevant for quality control, R&D, surface cleanliness evaluation, adhesion study, surface energy determination, and testing according to TAPPI T458, ASTM D724, ASTM D5946, and ISO 15989.
