Roughness analysis

Roughness analysis quantifies irregularities on the surface of a material, providing essential parameters for characterizing the surface condition. This data is essential in the fields of materials, packaging, polymers, coatings, or even in the food and cosmetics industries, where surface texture can influence the functional, aesthetic or sensory properties of a product.

The measurement is generally carried out using a profilometer (contact or optical), which provides parameters such as Ra (average roughness), Rz (maximum height of asperities), or 3D representations of the surface. This information makes it possible to optimize manufacturing processes, evaluate the quality of a surface treatment or ensure compliance with specific standards.

Commonly analyzed matrices include: plastics, films, papers, metals, composite materials, tablets, coatings, textured or polished surfaces.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
