Rheology Testing of Polymers

Rheology Testing of Polymers is important for the quality check and performance evaluation of various materials produced in the industries. For this purpose, various tests are introduced to check the rheological properties of materials, gels, and pastes. The manufacturing process is enhanced through proper testing. This technique aids in meeting the demands of the production industry and in maintaining a balance in the global market.  

 

Advantages of Rheology Testing of Polymers:

The various tests performed under this technique help determine the effect of stress and force on the deformation and flow of the material. It leads to the improvement and qualification of materials thus minimizing costly issues and waste. Polymers are used excessively in aerospace, electrical, automotive, and packaging industries; therefore it is important to focus on the product enhancement and performance evaluation of these products to ensure the provision of safe and reliable products.  Moreover, this service contributes to experimentation, structure and strength development, purification, analysis, identification of contamination, risk evaluation, and certification of various materials.

This technique helps compound identification, research, development, testing, regulation, and other applications. Reliability, endurance, sustainability, and safety are checked.

Intervention:

The rheological testing and analysis are performed in the Rotational Rheology laboratory, where stress and strain rates are controlled. Capillary rheometry helps in data collection, and melt flow rate is determined by applying approved standards.
