PolyVISC Automatic Viscometer Accessories

Kynar®/Teflon® component upgrades

A Kynar coating upgrade is available for the PolyVISC instrument. The AIRBATH interior is coated with this durable polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) compound. The upgrade permits testing with highly aggressive solvents, including concentrated sulfuric acid. The Kynar coating upgrade also includes a Kynar wash platform and solid Teflon sample carrier and wash station.

PolyVISC Low Volume Testing Option

Offers low-volume testing with only 5 mL of sample.The PolyVISC Low Volume Testing Option consists of a specially-designed spring-loaded glass vial adapter insert with a 5 mL capacity—approximately ¼ the volume of the standard 20 mL sample vial. Ideal for use with a limited volume of sample, the adapters and springs come in packs of 12 each. The option also includes a modified capillary viscometer tube. Replacement vials (P65.0035) and springs (P65.0029) can also be ordered separately.


PolyVISC Volatile Sample Testing Option

Provides protection from solvent evaporation. The topless plastic screw cap for standard PolyVISC sample vials can be modified by the addition of a scored Mylar® film and rubber seat. In conjuction with an aluminum foil seal, the Mylar and rubber inserts enhance test precision for highly volatile samples by preventing evaporation that can affect the concentration of the polymer solution. The design also helps to reduce toxic and/or corrosive vapors in the AIRBATH by resealing the cap aperture following the test, and the Mylar and rubber inserts wipe the exterior of the viscometer tube as it is withdrawn from the vial, further reducing the risk of cross-contamination when performing multiple sample tests. The solvent-resistant Mylar®/rubber inserts are sold in packages of one dozen each, and can be re-used multiple times with appropriate cleaning and drying procedures.

PolyVISC viscometer tubes

Two tube types are available for the PolyVISC instrument. The modified Atlantic compound viscometer tube is suitable for most samples. The modified Ubbelohde tube is particularly suited for more volatile samples, and may significantly enhance determinability and repeatability.
