We are looking forward to joining market-leading companies from across the industry to showcase the latest developments in particle characterisation, rheology, powder analysis, and formulation stability. With a packed exhibition schedule featuring technical talks, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities, SURFEX 2026 promises to be a valuable event for anyone involved in coatings and formulated product development.
At the Meritics stand, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of advanced analytical technologies designed to support formulation development, quality control, process optimisation, and troubleshooting within the coatings and paints industry.
One of the key instruments on display will be the Beckman Coulter LS 13320 XR, a high-performance laser diffraction particle size analyser delivering fast, accurate particle size measurements across a broad analytical range. Widely used for pigments, fillers, and dispersions, the system provides detailed particle size distributions critical to coating performance and consistency.
We will also be showcasing the Bettersizer 2600 Plus, combining laser diffraction with dynamic imaging technology to provide both particle size and particle shape analysis within a single system. Understanding particle morphology is essential for controlling dispersion behaviour, opacity, gloss, and final coating properties.
Another highlight will be the BeScan Lab Stability Analyser, designed to rapidly assess the stability of emulsions, suspensions, and dispersions using Static Multiple Light Scattering technology. The system enables early detection of sedimentation, creaming, flocculation, and phase separation, helping formulators accelerate product development and improve long-term stability.
For advanced nanoparticle analysis, the BeNano 180 Zeta Max will demonstrate highly sensitive measurements of particle size, zeta potential, and dispersion stability, supporting the development of modern high-performance coating systems and nanomaterial formulations.
In addition, visitors will be able to learn more about the Mercury Scientific Revolution Powder Flow Analyser, designed to evaluate powder flow behaviour and bulk material handling properties—important factors in pigment processing and manufacturing efficiency.
The FlowCam 8000 will also be featured, providing dynamic particle imaging and visualisation capabilities for identifying agglomerates, contaminants, and particle morphology in complex dispersions and suspensions.
Completing the showcase will be the Lamy Rheology range, offering advanced rheological measurement solutions for viscosity, flow behaviour, and formulation stability. Rheology plays a vital role in coating application, levelling, storage stability, and overall product performance, making it a key analytical tool for paints, inks, and coatings manufacturers.
At Meritics, we understand the challenges facing today’s formulators and manufacturers, from improving stability and controlling viscosity to achieving tighter particle size specifications and optimising processing efficiency. Our technologies are designed to provide accurate, reliable data that helps laboratories and production teams make informed decisions with confidence.
We are excited to welcome visitors to our stand at SURFEX 2026 and look forward to discussing how our solutions can support your analytical and formulation requirements.
