The Thermo Scientific HAAKE PolyLab OS is a state-of-the-art measuring mixer and extruder system, focused on the specific needs in R&D. The HAAKE PolyLab OS provides the users with process-relevant material data such as melting behavior, temperature stability, shear stability, influence of additives, and melt viscosity. Furthermore, this measuring mixer and extruder system supports you in process modelling activities (compounding polymers with additives to reduce flammability, viscosity, etc., scale-up extrusion processes by using different L/D ratios to extrapolate to your master process line, simulating master processes using only as little as 50g of material to optimize extrusion or mixing in respect to temperature and shear profile or extrusion of strands, profiles or films in combination with rheological or optical measurements).
