Using a range of rheological techniques to fully characterize the flow properties of a given material and application, expert staff are on hand to offer a variety of practical rheological solutions over a range of applied shear and temperature

Typically we are asked...

• Is it stable? Does it behave as a fluid or a solid? - Oscillation analysis
• Will it flow? - Viscosity and shear stress vs. shear rate
• Will it recover its original state? - Thixotropy analysis
• What is the energy required to move it? - Yield stress analysis
• What is the viscosity? - Single point viscosity at a specified shear and temperature

... we use the most appropriate technique or develop a new methodology.

We work with a range of materials and sectors. Recent work includes...

• Flowability of 'scratch and sniff' fragrances
• Margarine spreadability
• Paint formulation
• Pharmaceutical stability studies
• Structure stability of concentrated emulsions
• Yield stress of settled beds
