Rotor blades are exposed to severe environmental conditions. Rain, hail, sand, salty sea water and dirt all gather on the surfaces and lead, especially on blade-leading edges, to soiling and roughening of paint and coating systems.
RheocalcT software provides fully automated viscosity testing from a dedicated PC when using the new DV3T touch screen rheometer and the new DV2T touch screen viscometer.
A team of coatings industry experts worked together for as many as 10 years on the testing and adoption of this standard. The methodology in this new cycle applies not only to automotive coating systems with steel and plastic substrates, but can also apply to aircraft coatings as well as coatings for other industries.
A mercury telluride cadmium (MTC) infrared detector is now available for the Rheonaut module, which pairs rheological analysis from the Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS rheometer with infrared spectroscopy
ANALYSETTE 22 models offer a measuring range of 0.01-2000 μm, short measuring time, high measurement precision, consistent reproducibility, reliable comparability and user-friendly operation.
From this testing, it is clear that the temperature of the paint at the nozzle has a significant, measureable impact on surface finish and that each layer (basecoat, clearcoat, etc.) plays a role in the appearance of the final part.
