New Malvern Webinar Covers Rheology for Ink, Paint and Coatings


24 February 2010: Malvern, UK: As part of Malvern Instruments' extensive online educational offering, a new web seminar 'The importance of rheology for the Ink, Paint and Coatings Industry', will describe how the rheological properties of inks, paints and coatings can influence their performance at all stages of product use, from storage through to application and final print or coating quality. The presentation will also show how developments in the user interface for Malvern's rSpace software on the Kinexus rotational rheometer simplify the set-up and performance of industry-relevant tests. The webinar takes place on Tuesday, 9 March 2010, at 10:30 am EST (15:30 GMT) and is open to all. Registration is free at: www.malvernevents.com

rSpace is central to Malvern's new Kinexus rheometer. This ground-breaking software system delivers the ultimate flexibility in rheological measurement and analysis and is configured to serve the needs of specific groups of rheology users. Much more than simply an advanced instrument interface, rSpace can deliver expert guidance from test set-up to analysis.

About Malvern Instruments

Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).

Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern's technologies for protein molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer molecular weight and distribution. The company's laboratory, at-line, on-line and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.

Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories around the world. www.malvern.com
