Rheometer
Rheometry is the analytical method used to describe and assess the deformation and flow behavior of materials, i.e. the rheological properties.
Our hybrid rheometer is used in our R&D projects to target development materials or the formulation of coatings, and to monitor the corresponding curing kinetics. One of the main objectives of our measurements is to evaluate the viscosity of resin formulations as a function of the temperature (or shear stress) in order to ensure the compliance of prepared formulations with targeted implementation processes. Rheometer analysis can also provide important information in regard to gel time, pot life or mix viscosity, which are often mandatory for the proper manipulation of these resins.
