Polymer solution viscosity testing across temperature

Automated robotic viscometer

Polymer solutions are strongly temperature- and concentration-dependent. A few degrees can move a coating, adhesive or gel from easily pourable to barely flowing — so a single room-temperature number rarely tells the whole story.

Why temperature scanning suits polymers

Scanning viscosity continuously from −30 °C to +40 °C resolves thinning, thickening and gelation knees that fixed-point tests miss, across 0.1–20,000 cP.

From dilute to concentrated

Interchangeable pistons keep low-viscosity dilute solutions and thick concentrates both in range, under identical automated conditions.
