Free sample testing offer to test extensional properties for Australian Customers

Rheology Solutions is pleased to offer free sample testing on two product samples and provide a report detailing the extensional differences between the products. The sample testing will be conducted using a HAAKE CaBER 1 extensional rheometer.

Measurements using the HAAKE CaBER 1 extensional rheometer will provide a quick insight into the material properties under an extensional deformation which occur, for example, during filling. The HAAKE CaBER is suitable for examining:
• Adhesives - measurement of tackiness - solvent loss or gain
• Associating polymers
• Biomaterials
• Surfactants
• Consumer goods - filling of bottles - time to break up - solvent loss - processability
• Food products - stringiness/strand formulation - time to break up - relaxation of doughs elastic instabilities
• Industrial resins - relaxation time spectrum, constitutive modelling - spinnability Testing the extension properties before final production will identify products that are more likely to create a process or production problem and allow you to adjust the formula and eliminate the problem. This would improve your process and product performance and provide a new QA/QC procedural step prior to final production.
