Making Rheology Easy, Accessible and Economical

The Centre for Industrial Rheology provides sample testing, research and investigations using rheology and viscosity measurements, interfacial rheology measurements, powder flow, tribology (lubrication and friction) and texture analysis techniques to provide our clients with:

• Competitor analysis and market benchmarking
• Establishing a specification: “this is exactly how we want it”.
• Identify the impact of ingredient choices or process variables on final product rheology.
• Understanding the extent and timescale of viscosity build following manufacture.
• Scale up, technology transfer and contractor set-up issues.
• Stability: Assessing robustness and recovery from thermal and mechanical stresses.
• Pumpability: Obtain viscosity and rheology profiles for specifying pump requirements
• Predicting pumping and filling issues.
• Choosing the right packaging for dose delivery.
• Profiling a coating process.
