  • Polymer Additive Laboratory Installs Instron 3336 Dual Column Tabletop Testing System

Polymer Additive Laboratory installs Instron® 3336 Dual Column Tabletop Testing System

Robac Technology polymer additive laboratory has recently replaced their old Instron tensile machine, Model 4302, with a new Instron® 3366 Dual Column Tabletop Testing System.

Robac Technology use the Instron® to ensure material satisfies customer requirements in rubber development. It is largely used as part of additive developments to evaluate tensile properties of rubber. Their polymer additive laboratory offers facilities for synthetic and natural rubber dry compounding, as well as latex dispersion kit. Equipment in the polymer additive laboratory includes:

  • Powder blending machine
  • Brookfield viscometer
  • Klaxon mechanical stability apparatus
  • High speed silverson stirrer 
  • Malvern analyser
  • Rheometer MDR 2000E with DAISY software for testing rheological performance of test compounds
  • Mooney Viscometer for testing Mooney and Cure Index of test compounds
  • Instron® 3366 Dual Column Tabletop Testing System
  • Hardness tester
  • Various rubber sample cutters
  • Stereo microscope to examine dispersion of additives in soft rubber etc.
  • 12 inch and 16 inch 2-Roll Mills
  • BR Banbury with 1kg mixing chamber
  • Electrically heated presses for compression moulding
  • Various rubber moulds including gas transfer mould to collect vulcanisation fume for analysis
  • Vibro-mill for making small scale aqueous dispersions (500cc)
  • Ball-mill dispersion (2kg capacity)
  • Monsanto fatigue to failure tester
  • Wallace ageing ovens
  • Stress relaxation testing equipment
  • High temperature oven (250 degC)
  • Latex dipping machine and various moulds
  • Water baths
