What are gelation and curing; pot life, cure & gel time, working life: how is viscosity important?

November 2, 2020
Applications, Science

Gelation/gel-transition is the formation of a gel from a system with polymers. Branched polymers can form links between the chains, which lead to progressively larger polymers. At that point in the reaction, which is defined as gel point, the system loses fluidity and viscosity…

Emulsions are dispersions of two immiscible liquids. They are of interest in many important practical applications in the food, cosmetic, oil production, agriculture, chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and several other process industries.

Non-Newtonian fluid viscosity measurement with inline viscometer SRV

Product in-depth, Applications, Science

Many, if not most, fluids exhibit non-Newtonian behavior. A fluid is said to be non-Newtonian when its measured viscosity depends on the shear rate with which the measurement is conducted.
