Malvern Panalytical has announced a new webinar titled ‘Using Rheology to Characterise Asphalt for Roofing Applications’.

This presentation will review some alternate testing techniques that relate to several commonly performed roofing asphalt tests. These methods will be discussed along with actual data presented from automated DSR determination of softening point, penetration, capillary and rotational viscosity measurements.

When implemented for quality control, intelligent software can be used to determine pass/fail criteria, automatic report generation and escalation decisions for out-of-spec materials to company procedures.

Other techniques investigated include adhesive pull-off, prediction of sag and high-shear analysis to simulate processing conditions.

This webinar will take place on 8 November from 10:30-11:30 (GMT-5:00). Click here to register for the event.
