Cure Measurement / Scanning Vibrating Needle Curemeter

	Need to know about the cure of liquid polymers?
	Want an accurate measurement of Gel time?
	Have to be certain about the quaity of your materials?

Rapra's Vibrating Needle Curemeter (VNC) and more recently the Scanning Vibrating Needle Curemeter (SVNC) have been successfully used in industry for many years with around 100 SVNC units currently being used. These provide vital information about the cure of liquid polymers, including polyurethanes, epoxies, silicone and polysulphides. This information has been used in both the development of new formulations and in the quality and production control of already established products.

The standard instrument provides a continuous record of cure progression - even through gel point - providing a profile of both pre-gelation and post-gelation stages. The fully automatic stand allows the needle to be positioned to within 10 microns in the heat stage giving accurate and fast positioning which is important for providing reproducible results. The SVNC is an invaluable tool for those engaged in troubleshooting, quality control or product development with liquid curing systems for either rubbers or plastics. The precise needle positioning extends the scope of the instrument to surface coatings, paints and resins. A separate monitoring position is easily accessed for small (upto 200 millilitre) foam samples.

The benefits to you
