NETZSCH Enhances Product Portfolio with Rheometers, Fire Testing Systems and Hotboxes Source: NETZSCH Australia Pty Ltd

NETZSCH is pleased to announce the extension of its product portfolio with the acquisition of Kinexus rotational rheometers and Rosand capillary rheometers from Malvern Panalytical Ltd (represented by ATA Scientific Pty Ltd).

Rotational rheometers help maintain parameters such as consistency and fluidity, which in turn allow predictions to be made about stability, texture, and shelf life. Capillary rheometers enable controlled extrusion (by volumetric flow) of a sample through a high precision die of known dimensions to characterize material flow properties typically under conditions of high force pressure and/or high shear rate. “Rheology is a natural addition to our thermal analysis portfolio. We will continue to support existing Kinexus and Rosand customers and we are looking forward to welcoming new users, all of whom will receive the unrivalled support level that NETZSCH customers have come to expect over the years” said Andrew Gillen, ANZ Product Manager, NETZSCH Analyzing and Testing.

In January, NETZSCH acquired TAURUS ® Instruments AG, a leading manufacturer of physical measuring systems for industrial and research applications. NETZSCH TAURUS ® fire testing systems meet international standards and are used for determining the reaction to fire of products including building materials, cables and electronic components. NETZSCH TAURUS ® hotbox systems are useful for conducting heat transfer measurements (U-value) on large and complex building parts (for example. windows, doors and facades).

The NETZSCH Group (established in 1873 in Germany) is a mid-sized, familyowned German company engaging in the manufacture of machinery and instrumentation with worldwide production, sales, and service branches. When it comes to thermal analysis, calorimetry and the determination of thermophysical properties, NETZSCH has it covered. Our 50 years of applications experience, broad state-of-the-art product line and comprehensive service offerings ensure that our solutions will not only meet your every requirement but also exceed your every expectation.
