Attension® Sigma Product Options
Attension Sigma Force Tensiometers employ a simple and robust technique to measure surface tension, interfacial tension, and density of liquids. These direct measurements allow determination of a liquid material properties, like critical micelle concentration. Beyond surface/interfacial tension, the availability of multiple probes allows measurements of the interaction between solid and liquid surfaces, including powder wettability, dynamic contact angles, sedimentation, and adhesion. Understanding these interactions plays a critical role in surfactant development, adhesion, formulation development, absorption, and wettability.
The Sigma 700/701 allows the highest sensitivity and largest range of experimental options. Automatic computer-controlled measurements of surface tension, interfacial tension, powder wettability, dynamic contact angles, critical micelle concentration, density, sedimentation, and adhesion force.
The Sigma 702 is a semi-automatic standalone force tensiometer workhorse for surface tension, interfacial tension, density, and manual critical micelle concentration measurements. Step-by-step instruction on the instrument screen makes these measurements fast and the data reproducible.
The Sigma 702 ET Transformer Oil Analyzer is a semi-automatic standalone force tensiometer for oil and water interfacial tension measurements in accordance with the ASTM D971 and IEC standards.
The Sigma 703 D is a manual standalone force tensiometer for accurate measurements of surface tension, interfacial tension, and density at the best value.
