Using GPC it is possible to track changes in the MW of polymer- based inks induced by the printing process. This makes it possible to study the impact of polymer concentration and of printer geometries and operating modes on polymer degradation.
AMETEK Inc. has completed two acquisitions: Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, a leading manufacturer of viscometers and rheometers, and ESP/SurgeX, a leader in energy intelligence and power protection solutions.
Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, UK, has announced an exclusive global distribution agreement with RheoSense Inc., San Ramon, CA, to promote, market, sell and support the VROC product range into industrial applications.
Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, a manufacturer of viscometers and rheometers, is offering two hands-on courses designed to help users comprehend the functionality of their instrument and solve the mysteries of fluid behavior while creating a successful and repeatable method.
In response to customer input, Brookfield has now added an expiration date to its silicone viscosity standards used to perform calibration checks on viscometers and rheometers.
In recent years, the coatings industry has been inundated with announcements such as “we are currently facing a tough situation,” “dramatic rise in costs,” “raw material shortages,” and “more price increases.”
