The Texture Analyser: The complete solution for measuring the strength of tablets or the tack of an adhesive surface

Winopal research needs

The Texture Analyser TA.XTplus, the universal for the laboratory bench, is a compact, precise, versatile all-rounder. is one of the strengths of the device is in the flexibility of the software, created in just a few steps with which a new test method or loaded from the database.

The versatile TA.XTplus texture analyzer is used in all areas of industry for the investigation of physical properties such as hardness, strength, elasticity and stickiness, as well as in the food industry for the characterization of sensory impressions, such as texture, chewing ability or crispness.

In pharmacy, with the texture analyzer tablets can especially forms that have made safety a very high surface hardness should be tested for strength and stability. With the new semi-solid preparations can also Penetrometerwerkzeug with a cone for DAB are investigated. Many other parameters such as the elasticity of polymer films, the consistency of ointments up to the mucoadhesive properties of gels or tablets can be investigated with the Texture Analyser.

In the klebstoffverarbeitenden industry can be examined methods and with the tack test, the adhesive and adhesive properties exactly with the texture analyzer with both the standard FINAT and ASTM. The tack measurement is a process for application-specific assessment of the adhesion properties of pressure sensitive adhesives. Here, the tack is defined as a material's ability to train with a low pressure and short contact time a significant liability.
