Turbiscan MA Stability of polymer emulsions - Samples are tested over time to determine if they are stable or unstable.  If they are unstable, the reason for the instability can be determined, i.e. sedimentation, creaming, particle size increase, particle size increase then sedimentation, etc.  In addition, stability parameters can be calculated such as sedimentation rate, mean particle size, rate of change in mean size, etc.
Turbiscan On-Line Continuous monitoring of polymerization processes - The Turbiscan On-Line system is ideal for determining the endpoint of a mixing process or for monitoring a continuous process for changes or upsets. The system measures mean particle size on concentrated samples by multiple light scattering.  A measurement is made every 0.1 seconds in a flow through cell. No sample preparation is required. Results are displayed on user programmable trend lines.  
Accusizer 780 Particle Size Analysis and oversize particle counting of suspensions from 0.5 to 5,000 microns. 
PartAn Particle Analyzer Sieve size and shape analysis of polymer pellets by video image analysis.  No weight is required and analysis time is five minutes
PartAn Process Analyzer Continuous monitoring of sieve size gradations automatically in the plant.  Pipe or belt samplers are used to take representative samples from dry processes approximately every five minutes. The samples are tested for size and shape and then returned to the process.  Test results are displayed in control rooms and via plant networks.
