Description
The PPA 2000 Production Process Analyzer is a Dynamic Mechanical Rheological Tester, or DMRT, designed to test raw elastomers or mixed rubber. Based on the first instrument capable of measuring rubber compounds before, during and after cure in a single test. It is housed in a durable cabinet, making it ideal for production environments.
Applications
When there is a need for more demanding tests on rubber compounds in production. To reduce testing costs of physical properties by means of correlations.
