Viscosity Testing

We can perform viscosity tests as a function of many variables:

• Temperature
• Shear rate
• Composition
• Storage conditions
• Shipping conditions in accelerated aging studies
• Yield Stress
• Test SOPs
• Flow simulations

Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids are routinely tested and many commercial soft solid compositions.

Rheology Testing

Our rheology measurements include the following tests:

• Strain Sweeps
• Frequency Sweeps
• Time Sweeps
• Curing Kinetics
• Aging
• Storage Stability
• Yield Stress
• Test SOPs

We have standard testing protocols for each class of measurements.

Rheology testing should be the workhorse of product and process development. Understand the objective of the measurements and select the right ones.
