Rheology of Polymers

Rheology measures polymer flow properties.

Rheology analysis of polymers and plastics include changes with temperature, deformation rates and time-with-experience in the analysis of all polymer types and formulations.Intertek laboratories test the rheological properties of polymeric materials and liquids over a wide variety of temperatures and deformation rates (both shear and extensional). Understanding the rheological properties enables our clients to optimize their process conditions, thus saving costs and potential waste.

Polymer rheological testing and analysis: 

  • Capillary Rheology – Providing design data for Flow Simulation Packages together with measurement of Extensional Flow Properties
  • Rotational Rheology Laboratory (Stress and Strain Rate Control Options – in air or an inert atmosphere)
  • Melt flow Rate and Index (ASTM D1238, ASTM D3364, ISO 1133)
  • Intrinsic Viscosity Measurements (ASTM 2857)
  • Relative Viscosity Measurements (ASTM 2857, ISO 489)
  • Instrumented Injection Moulding (Spiral Flow)
