Comparison of the 'thixotropic behavior' of two textured coatings: Structural regeneration, surface leveling and sagging behavio
The application behavior of two textured coatings is investigated. Structural regeneration, surface leveling and sagging behavior are significant quality characteristics for coatings. These characteristics are also referred to as ‘thixotropic behavior’ and contribute substantially to whether a ...

Determining the yield point and viscosity of chocolate (RheolabQC)
This report describes a measuring method for determining the yield point of chocolate. The yield point influences the way the chocolate levels out and how it melts in the mouth and on hands. Chocolate makers are also very interested in the spatial distribution of the cocoa butter molecules. They ...

Determining the yield point and viscosity of cosmetic products Example: Hair gel (RheolabQC)
Hair has a particular importance for us: It is an expression of beauty and individuality, but can also show affiliation to a culture or group. Modern hair gel must meet high requirements: Extremely strong, moisture-resistant and long-lasting hold which does not lead to sticky hands or sticky hair. ...

Rheology: worth a second look?
In this article three test methods have been described which enable a near complete rheological assessment of all kinds of dispersions: a) the rotational test as flow and viscosity curves to analyse the flow behaviour, b) the oscillatory test as amplitude and frequency sweep tests for the ...

Yield point and viscosity to describe the pumping and transporting process of slurries Example: Kaolin suspensions (RheolabQC)
The processing characteristics and transport characteristics of slurries are heavily dependent on their rheological properties. Knowledge of the rheological parameters is therefore essential, particularly when transporting large amounts of slurry. This report describes a measuring method for the ...
