At Rheology Central, our rheology testing expertise is in characterizations of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian viscosity fluids and soft solids as a function of shear rate, strain, temperature, frequency, and time. Example of shear thinning viscosity profiles for several commercial USA skin care creams and lotions is shown below.
Our industrial experience is in emulsions, dispersions, gels, and other complex formulations and viscosity and rheology testing includes both raw materials and commercial products. Frequently our objective is to study how rheology impacts properties/product performance characteristics.
