Combined Instron and Oscillatory Rheometer Data

​​

Rheometric Mechanical Spectrometer RMS-800

 

  • Time-Temperature-Superposition (TTS)

  • Steady shear viscosity for melt polymer or hot melt adhesives from low to moderate shear rates

  • Curing study such as the onset of curing, gel time and cross-linked viscosity of thermosetting polymer

  • Glass transition of solid polymer, polymer blend, filled polymer or rubber

  • Advanced analysis for transformation, fitting for viscosity model and Molecular Weight Analysis

  • Temperature : -140°C to 400°C
