About Us and What We Do

Rtec Instruments develops and manufactures advanced mechanical and optical surface characterization testing solutions. As a result, our advanced technologies contribute to numerous research and industrial applications. We are a leader in analytical instrumentation. By combining analytical techniques, we provide an unique perspective in material testing.

Currently, our line of testers include tribometers, profilometers, indentation and scratch testers, high-temperature indenters, and corrosion testers. Furthermore, our testers are the most robust and versatile platforms. Their versatility test friction, wear, adhesion, hardness, roughness, and film thickness. This includes testing from nano to macro-scale.

The user experience is important to us. Therefore, we provide easy one-click analysis with pre-made testing recipes. But sometimes one requires specialized testing. So we also provide modular platforms with customizable motion.

Moreover, we strive to meet tomorrow’s requirements for research and industrial industries. Many of our application include oil & gas, 2D materials, semiconductor, coatings, automotive, biomedical, and aerospace.
