Understanding surface tension, interfacial tension, and wettability is critical in industries such as coatings, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and oil & gas. These parameters directly influence product performance, stability, and quality.

The Biolin Scientific Attension Sigma Force Tensiometer is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to provide highly accurate measurements of surface interactions. Available through IR Technology Services Pvt. Ltd., this advanced system helps laboratories and manufacturers optimize formulations, improve coating quality, and enhance research outcomes.

What is a Force Tensiometer?

A Force Tensiometer is an analytical instrument used to measure the forces acting at the interface of liquids, solids, and gases. It quantifies properties such as:

• Surface tension

• Interfacial tension

• Dynamic contact angle

• Surface free energy

• Powder wettability

• Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC)

• Adhesion force and density

These measurements help scientists understand how materials interact at the molecular level, which is crucial for product formulation, adhesion, and coating performance.

The Biolin system uses ultra-sensitive microbalance technology and advanced probes such as the Du Noüy ring or Wilhelmy plate to measure these forces with exceptional precision.
