Case study – Development and internalization of rheometric protocols for the quantification of the stringy and sticky properties of gelled cosmetic products
Sector: Cosmetics
Customer type: Group
Service contact: R&D
The Customer encounters production problems when injecting certain products into pots with undesirable stringy and sticky behavior. He calls on RHEONIS to adjust rheometric protocols to anticipate the phenomenon from the formulation and internalize the approach on its instrumentation.
Physical measurement and rheometry for the quantification of application properties
In response to this request, RHEONIS implemented its know-how in rheometry and physical measurement to develop robust protocols to quantify spinning and sticky behaviors.
The stages of the study were therefore as follows:
- Measurement of spinning behavior by physical measurement
- Adjustment of rheometric protocols correlated with spinning behavior
- Interpretation of measurement data on several products and conclusions
- Internalization

Strengthen continuous improvement through a better scientific understanding of phenomena
This study has enabled the Customer to enhance its ability to predict process behavior. Indeed, rheometric techniques have the advantage of making it possible to instrumentally simulate the constraints linked to the process and thus to quantify the response of the products. It then becomes possible to guide the formulation process on the basis of objective data.
The advantages of instrumental techniques for predicting behavior in production
Objective approach based on scientifically sound techniques
Reliability of industrialization
Low amount of material needed
Ability to establish correlations between formulation factors and measurable parameters
Opens the way to behavioral profiling
