Thermal Analysis


Rheology


Measures the melt viscosity, creep, and stress relaxation responses of polymers as functions of time, temperature, and force, using parallel plate or cone-and-plate configurations from subambient to high temperature.

Applications:


  • Comparative analysis of viscosity
  • Response of thermoplastics to shearing
  • Viscosity response over time (curing), frequency, temperature, etc.
  • More representative of processing than MFI

Work We've Done


Resin Viscosity

A client contacted us who needed to monitor the viscosity of a thermosetting resin as a function of time and temperature to determine the working time of their resin.  We were able to generate a series of viscosity data sets as a function of time and temperature which was essential to their product line.

For another client we routinely qualify batches of medical grade resin to be released for molding.
