Paint testing: a review of some modern techniques: Part 4: rheological measurements

Abstract

The rheological properties of a coating are important determinants of storage, application and flow characteristics and, as such, the need for its accurate measurement is an important requirement in formulation development. Measurement of rheology is also an important phase of quality control testing, though frequently less sophisticated, more rapid, characterisation techniques may sometimes be used here. This article will consider some of the literature concerned with techniques of measuring coating rheology.
