This one-day short course on rheology and its application to various industries is designed for all levels of R&D chemists, technologists and engineers and is highly recommended for those working in the industries, research institutions and academe.
What rheology can do for you?
Mechanical profiling through rheology is a great way to understand your formulation to achieve the best sensory and handling properties, film-forming ability and storage stability. From the lab to production stage, the knowledge of rheology helps you establish a benchmark to capture that perfect batch for your formulations.
Rheological information of your formulations before and after thermal and mechanical stress tests can aid you to develop confidence in the stability of your products starting from the formulation stage to the end-user phase to ensure consumer satisfaction and approval.
Thinking of cost-saving ingredients to cut down on raw materials expense? Rheological measurements can provide you an excellent evaluation technique if these cheaper alternatives you plan to use in your formulation can adversely affect your products.
What is the best delivery and packaging method for your formulations? Understanding the rheological properties of your formulations enable you to arrive at well-informed decisions before commercializing your products.
