May 28 – 30, 2025
ATA Scientific was a proud sponsor of the Australian Coatings Show which took place at the Pullman Hotel, Albert Park, Melbourne.
Our booth featured two key instruments — the MSA and DSA25. These drew great interest and sparked insightful conversations around practical surface science applications. We discussed the latest tools used to characterise surfaces and interfaces to assess wettability and many other properties of solids and liquids.
Our guest speaker Dr Fiona Mary Antony, KRÜSS GmbH, presented her talk, “Optimising Coating Processes: Enhancing Adhesion and Performance Across Industries,” which focused on the critical role of surface-free energy, contact angle measurements, and adhesion control in ensuring coating quality and performance — especially in complex multilayer systems. The session also highlighted how real-time, production-relevant surface characterisation using KRÜSS instruments can significantly enhance process efficiency and coating reliability.
