Brookfield Viscometer Applications in the Coatings Industry

Recently, the convening of the two sessions once again pushed urbanization to a new climax. The "2014 Government Work Report" has promoted the new urbanization with people as the core as one of the nine major work priorities this year. In the past ten years, due to the urbanization process, the urban population has been increasing and the demand for the real estate market has arisen. Therefore, while the country has included urbanization construction as the focus of work, it can be foreseen that with the advancement of new urbanization construction, housing will be inevitable. Renovation, furniture and other market consumption. As one of the most popular coating products for building decoration, architectural coatings are currently the fastest growing coatings industry, accounting for about 40% of the total coating production.

The coating is generally viscous liquid or powder. It can be applied to the surface of the object by different construction techniques. After drying, it can adhere to the solid film with firm strength, continuous strength and continuous reading, and protect the beautification and beautification of the coating. Other expected effects. Since the coating must pass through the fluid phase during the coating process, rheological properties are an important property of the coating. Rheological properties include not only viscosity, but also elasticity and plasticity. When only the fluid flow law is discussed, the rheological properties can be approximated by viscosity.

The most important rheological parameter of the coating in actual production is viscosity. For example, in storage, it is desirable to have a higher viscosity of the system to prevent the precipitation of pigments and fillers. The viscosity of the system is required to be low during construction, which is beneficial to the leveling of the coating film. However, it is required that the viscosity of the coating film reaches a higher viscosity for a certain period of time to avoid sag and runny of the coating film. Since the viscosity is too limited by the environment, instruments, test methods and test conditions at the time of measurement, from the measurement point of view, countries have established standards for viscosity measurement. According to the national standard ASTM D2196-1999, the method for measuring the rheological properties of non-Newtonian fluids and other coating viscosity measurement standards using a rotational viscometer is used, and the majority of rotary viscometers are used.

The Brookfield Viscometer is a world leader in the field of viscometers and has established a leading position in the field of viscometers and rheometers with a market share of over 70%. The new product DV-S rotary viscometer launched in the Chinese market meets the needs of quality testing and product development in the fields of polymer materials, coating chemicals, pharmaceutical and food industries. The stress sensor of the DV-S rotary viscometer is a high-density sensor with fast response for practical applications. The DV-S rotary viscometer was developed for the needs of the Chinese market. Therefore, the Chinese logo is printed on the viscometer product. It is easy to operate and is equipped with special operating instructions and installation materials.
