A new White Paper It is very interesting when two of our suppliers get together and do some work which shows the value that some synergy can bring to understanding our technology. In this case, Dymax (adhesives and curing equipment) and Brighton Science (surface measurement) have produced a white paper called The Science of Bonding: […]

Our Relyon Plasma PiezoBrush PZ3 professional set now includes a set of our Dyne Testing Dyne Test Pens as standard. Plasma treatment improves wetting and adhesion by increasing surface energy. The PiezoBrush PZ3 makes this easy to achieve, but the result is not visible to the naked eye. You cannot tell how much wetting has […]

Medical device designs increasingly rely on polymers like nylons, PEBAs and COC/COP cyclic olefin polymers. These plastics can give you strength, flexibility, chemical resistance and clarity. They also have very low surface energies, which means adhesives tend to bead up rather than wet. If you have ever tried to bond a glossy nylon tube, you […]

Surface energy can make or break your adhesive, coating, or printing process. But what exactly is it? In this JoinedUpMinute, Conor explains: 🔸 What is surface energy 🔸 Its impact on your materials and processes 🔸 How we measure it Want to understand the difference between surface energy and surface tension? Check out our whitepaper. […]

Successful, strong and reliable bonding and coating processes start with understanding of adhesion, and that means understanding your surface. No matter what you’re bonding, the effectiveness of adhesion is influenced by properties of the surface like cleanliness, roughness, and energy. Since acquiring Dyne Testing Ltd, our interest in – and understanding of – surface science […]

Today, we’re talking about surface science – specifically about tensiometers – courtesy of Alison. She explains: What tensiometers are able to measure Different types of tensiometers, such as force tensiometer, bubble tensiometer, or optical tensiometer (also known as contact angle meter) Check it out! You can find out more about specific types of tensiometers on […]
