From Associated Polymer Labs, Inc.

Rheology is the science that studies the deformation and flow of materials, whether in liquid, melt, or solid form, in terms of the material's elasticity and viscosity. We test the following: liquids, pastes, gels, polymers, plastics, elastomers, epoxy, composites, adhesives, fillers, additives and compounds.

The C.W. Brabender Instruments, Inc. laboratory extruder systems cover the complete range of processing conditions for quality control, product development, research applications, pilot plant and small scale production. The extruders provide close test reproducibility acting as measuring devices for sensing and recording extrusion torque.

Products & Services
Polymers and Plastic Materials
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins in the form of pellets, powders or liquid resins. These materials can then be molded into a variety of shapes for a wide range of uses.
Thermosets and Thermoset Materials
Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.
