MDR 3000 Moving Die Rheometer
MonTech · Moving Die Rheometer
The MDR 3000 is the industry standard for measuring the viscoelastic properties of polymers and elastomeric compounds before, during and after cure. The acquired data is gives advanced information about processability, cure characteristics, cure speed, as well as the behavior of the compound after-cure at fixed, user selectable strain rates.
