In this technical session, Kaitlin Carroll, Customer Success Manager at Brighton Science, introduces a new science-driven framework for understanding and improving mold maintenance through surface intelligence. Viewers will learn how invisible surface conditions—just a few molecular layers thick—play a critical role in adhesion and mold release performance.
The science of surfaces and surface energy, and why they determine coating, bonding, and molding outcomes.
How water contact angle measurement provides a fast, objective, and production-friendly way to assess surface energy.
A real-world case study demonstrating how BConnect technology quantifies surface uniformity across mold preparation stages (cleaning, sealing, and release coating).
How measurable surface data supports process consistency, reduces scrap and rework, and improves ROI in manufacturing environments.
Broader applications of surface intelligence—from molding to product development, quality control, and material evaluation.
Surface conditions may be invisible, but with Brighton’s water contact angle-based approach, manufacturers can make them measurable—transforming mold maintenance from a guessing game into a controlled, data-driven process.
