Accessory for MCR: Immobilization Cell

Description

The Immobilization Cell IMC is an accessory for Anton PaarsMCR rheometers. It is designed to investigate the immobilization kinetics, water retention, and drying of paper coatings, paints, slurries, or other suspensions. The conditions of the production process are simulated by varying temperature, gap width, shear stress, and pressure difference vacuum directly in the rheometer. A vacuum generated by a pump forces the liquid phase of the sample to penetrate into the base paper so that the moisture is extracted from the coating. Changes in the rheological behavior of the sample during the immobilization process are measured and analyzed in real-time.
