PolyVISC® is a fully automated, benchtop capillary viscometer with an 11 position sample handler for unattended processing and testing of the dilute solution viscosity of polymers dissolved in organic solvents and aqueous solutions.

The ultra- stable thermostatic air chamber provides temperature control from 20 °C to 135 °C (with  available options)

Designed to meet specific polymer industry needs

Flourinated thermoplastic coating and components provide the best chemical resistance to a wide range of solvents, including concentrated acids used to dissolve polyamides (D789, ISO 307) and aggressive solvents such as mixtures of phenol with chlorinated solvents (D4603, ISO 1628-5

Specialized software determines relative,inherent, reduced and intrinsic viscosity

Temperature range: 20 °C to 100 °C (±0.01 °C) due to ultrastable AIRBATH®technology. High temperature option permits testing from 40 °C to 135 °C

--Viscosity range: 0.3 mm2/s (cSt) to 60,000 mm2/s (cSt) in 100-fold increments (easily covering the range of 5 separate manual glass viscometers)*

Compact, robust design

Efficient, bench-top design conserves valuable lab space

Integrated thermoelectric cooling requires no external chiller

Fully automated bench-top testing

User-friendly software controls sampling, measurement and viscometer tube washing and drying

11 position sample handler allows unattended operation

Automation reduces operator to operator variability

Simplified maintenance & test versatility

Infrared (for transparent/some opague samples) are available

AIRBATH®chamber permits rapid temperature adjustment and viscometer tube replacement without the inconvenience of messy bath liquids

Compatable with modified Atlantic compound viscometer tubes (for highly viscous samples) or modified Ubbelohde tubes (for volatile samples)

Optional volatile sample inserts protect from solvent evaporation, enhances precision and reduces toxic/corrosive vapors in the AIRBATH®chamber

Data handling options include on-screen display, print or LIMS routing
