Immobilization Cell
The Immobilization Cell (IMC) is used to investigate the immobilization kinetics and water retention of paper coatings. The base paper is clamped onto a perforated plate, a pump generates a vacuum. This vacuum extracts the liquid phase of the applied coating while the geometry measures the related change in its rheological behavior. The immobilization cell is patented by BASF AG and exclusively licensed to Anton Paar.

New rheological test method to determine the dewatering kinetics of suspensions
Rheology plays an important role in dewatering processes. It is therefore interesting to analyze the dewatering process and the rheological behavior of a suspension simultaneously. An exact determination of the immobilization point at the maximum of the loss factor as well as the immobilization time ...

Rheological characterization of paper coatings
When applying paper coatings via applicator rolls the aim is to produce a homogenous and uniform coating thickness. To achieve this the paper coatings need to have certain physical-chemical properties. The surface tension has a great influence on the behavior during coating, as do the internal ...

Using an Immobilization Cell to test Paper Coatings
Rheometers often are used in the paper coatings industry for quality control and research. Standard rheological tests can predict material behavior in manufacturing and application; however, only one fixture is currently available that allows paper coatings to be tested directly on paper: the ...
