Gammadot Rheology is establishing a new Centre for Cure, designed to provide a comprehensive testing facility for problems of flow and cure.
At the core of the centre will be existing instrumentation such as a refurbished Monsanto R100 oscillating disc rheometer, a Reologica Viscotech controlled stress rheometer (with disposable sample plates), plus the latest instrumentation from Polymatrix - the PM340 Series phase shift curemeter.
Gammadot was selected by Polymatrix to assist in the development of this instrument and has become the first test house to have a unit on site.
The R100 ODR is the workhorse of rubber cure monitoring, whilst the Gammadot-designed disposable plate / plate measurement system for the Viscotech rheometer brings research-grade instrumentation to cure-reaction studies.
Together with the PM340 PSC, which is especially suited to curing liquids, these three instruments can provide cure monitoring for the full range of polymer types.
