The Evolution of Measurement: Water Contact Angle and the Path to Reliable Surface Readiness
July 10, 2025 WebinarIn the fast-evolving world of manufacturing quality control, measurement tools must adapt to new materials, processes, and standards. Join Brighton Science's Aaron Berding as he explores how water contact angle has become a trusted benchmark in surface readiness—and where its limits lie. Drawing from eight years of firsthand experience, Aaron will highlight lessons learned, common missteps, and new frontiers involving image analysis and machine learning. Whether you’re refining your process or just getting started, this webinar will deepen your understanding of surface measurement’s role in reliable production.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the evolution of water contact angle from lab tool to production benchmark.
- Discover where WCA excels—and where it falls short—in various manufacturing contexts.
- Learn how advanced image analysis and machine learning are expanding measurement capabilities.
- See how surface quality benchmarking fits into modern manufacturing maturity models.
Presenter:
Aaron Berding, Global Applications Director, Brighton Science
Join Brighton Science’s Derrick Merrell and Kaitlin Carroll for a practical webinar focused on how manufacturers can streamline surface preparation processes without compromising performance.
This session goes beyond basic adhesion science to explore how inefficient or overly complex prep routines create hidden costs, process variability, and quality risks. Through real-world customer examples and insights from Brighton’s customer success team, you’ll learn how to identify unnecessary process steps, use data to guide decision-making, and implement leaner, more repeatable surface prep workflows.
Whether you're using plasma, manual cleaning, or multi-step surface treatments, this session will help you evaluate what’s really necessary—and what’s not—to build reliable, efficient, and feedback-driven surface processes.
