Rheology and Viscosity Analysis
Rotational and oscillatory rheometry to determine flow curves, viscoelastic moduli, yield stress and thixotropy of liquids, gels, pastes and polymer melts.
In short
Rotational and oscillatory rheometry to determine flow curves, viscoelastic moduli, yield stress and thixotropy of liquids, gels, pastes and polymer melts. Rheology and viscosity analysis is performed on an Anton Paar MCR 302e air-bearing rheometer using cone–plate, parallel-plate and concentric-cylinder geometries.
Rheology and viscosity analysis is performed on an Anton Paar MCR 302e air-bearing rheometer using cone–plate, parallel-plate and concentric-cylinder geometries. Rotational tests determine shear-rate-dependent viscosity (flow curves), yield stress and thixotropy, while oscillatory tests yield storage and loss moduli (G′, G″), the linear viscoelastic region, frequency dependence and gelation or curing behaviour. Peltier temperature control enables temperature sweeps to follow melting, crystallisation and thermal stability. Typical questions concern the application behaviour of coatings and inks, shelf stability and texture of cosmetic and food formulations, processability of battery slurries, process suitability of polymer melts and batch consistency. It supports paint, ink, adhesive, cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical, polymer and energy storage industries and academic groups.
What you receive

Amplitude and frequency sweeps: G′, G″, tan δ and linear viscoelastic limit
Yield stress, thixotropy (three-interval thixotropy test) and temperature sweep results (on request)
Method summary covering geometry, gap, temperature and pre-shear conditions
Raw data (CSV/Excel) and PDF report
How it works
Request and scoping
Sample type, expected viscosity range, process conditions and the questions to be answered are collected; a test protocol and geometry are proposed.
Sample reception and preparation
Samples are logged, equilibrated at the specified temperature and loaded into the measuring geometry without entrapping air.
Measurement
Rotational and oscillatory tests are run with defined pre-shear and rest periods; replicate measurements confirm repeatability.
Reporting
Results are presented in the standard analysis report; supporting technical documentation is shared on request.

A single viscosity number cannot tell you whether a paint will sag, whether an ink will transfer cleanly or whether pigment will settle in storage. We explain how shear rate, thixotropy, yield stress and oscillatory tests translate into formulation decisions.
