The automatic GELNORM®- Geltimer TC for the measurement of gelation time under standardised conditions is easy to use and the results show exceptionally good reproduceability with all reaction resins such as:
The instrument incorporates a switch-off mechanism that responds to pressure: the gelation time limit is reached when the measuring stamper meets a defined reaction force in the reaction resin.
As a result of this automatic switch-off system, the size of resin sample employed is not limited.
The disposable stamper of stainless steel wire carries out a defined reciprocating movement as soon as the instrument is set in operation and, when the change in viscosity is reached, a built in timer is stopped and the gelation time can be read off.
