Case study – Determination of the freezing point of gelled solutions at negative temperatures
Sector: Animal hygiene
Client type: SME
Service contact: R&D
The Customer wishes to better quantify the thermal behavior of its gelled solutions used in cold conditions (below -5°C) for animal hygiene and calls on Rheonis to develop a reliable instrumental method and characterize the gel and thawing of its products.
Adapt approaches to the specificities of customer products and their application
In response to this request, RHEONIS implemented its know-how of instrumental techniques to adapt the usual protocols for measuring viscosity and viscoelastic measurement to the specificities of customer products and their application.
The stages of the study were therefore as follows:
- Adaptation of an instrumental protocol adapted to customer products
- Systematic measurement of freezing and thawing point values
- Writing a summary report and interpreting the data
Intervention System Gauge
Precision at the service of performance
The instrumental method implemented provides the Customer with data on the behavior of its products inaccessible by its usual techniques, making it possible to optimize the conditions of application and to guide the formulation process.
The advantages of our approach to rheometry
Protocols adapted to the specificities of the products
High range of accessible thermal conditions (down to -40°C)
Robustness of measures
Operational recommendations
