Paints, Coatings & Inks
Control Flow. Ensure Performance. Deliver Perfect Finishes.
Paints, coatings, and inks are polymer-based systems where performance is defined by flow behavior, stability, and curing.
From application to final film formation, these materials must behave precisely under changing conditions – during processing, storage, and use.
Understanding polymer behavior is key to achieving:
- consistent application
- stable formulations
- high-quality surface finishes
NETZSCH combines Kriechen (Rheologie)Creep is one of the earliest “controlled stress” rheometer tests that quite literally “creeps” the material, i.e. we measure over a relatively prolonged period the small movement (the creep defined as creep compliance, J) of the sample by applying a small constant stress.Rheology and Thermal Analysis to provide a complete understanding of polymer-based formulations.
How NETZSCH Supports Your Applications
Why Polymer Characterization Matters
These systems are complex formulations of:
- polymer binders
- pigments and fillers
- solvents and additives
Their performance depends on a delicate balance between:
- flow under shear
- stability at rest
- drying and curing behavior
Even small formulation changes can significantly impact performance and quality.
