Surface analysis

If the materials in your compositions are not performing correctly and are causing problems, surface analysis provides a valuable tool to find out what is happening.  Because it is the surface of a material that determines how it behaves towards other materials. In some cases, analyzing the surface rather than the bulk material may be the only way to find the answer to a problem. One monolayer of a material exists in extremely low concentrations compared to the bulk of a material. That is why some performance problems cannot be recognized by analyzing the bulk material. You need to use specific methods that look at just the surface of the material.

We offer the latest technology and know-how to investigate and analyze surface-related problems, such as adhesion problems or agglomeration of nanoparticles. In addition to specific analytical chemical methods designed to characterize surfaces and contaminants, we have methods which enable us to identify physical parameters.  We can then  translate this information into recommendations that can help you improve the performance of products across a wide array of industries.
