Rheometers & Viscometers

  1. Moving Die Rheometers (MDR):
  • Function: rotorless measurement of vulcanization characteristics (torque, curing time, scorch time, \(t_{90}\)) for maximum accuracy.
  • Capacity: isothermal and non-isothermal curing tests with high-stability temperature control ($\pm$0.3°C).
  • Control system: advanced software for the analysis of elastic viscosity curves and processing properties.
  1. Mooney Viscometers:
  • Function: determination of viscosity, scorch time (pre-vulcanization), and stress relaxation of raw or compounded rubber.
  • Specifications: standard large/small rotors equipped with an automatic calibration system and high-pressure pneumatic die closing.
  • Compliance: strict adherence to international testing standards (ASTM D1646, ISO 289).
