Gel-Timer is an instrument for the automatic determination of the gel time of reaction resins
The design is based on DIN 16 945 and DIN 16 916
The test with Gel Timer is very easy to perform and provides exceptionally good reproducibility. The automatical measurement can be performed for any reaction resin, for example:
- Unsaturated polyester resins
- Epoxy resins
- Polyurethane resins
- Acrylic resins
- Silicone resins
With Gel Timer it is possible to evaluate all factors which influence the gel time of reaction resins such as type and quantity of hardener, accelerator, inhibitor, filler, pigments, as well as temperature and moisture. The instrument is extremly easy to operate and usually needs no maintenance.
The principle of measurement of Gel Timer is simple: A stamper made from aluminium or glas performs an up-down cycle in a thermostatized test tube filled with resin. When the point of gelation is reached, the test tube is pulled up by the stamper. This stops the clock which was started at the beginning of the experiment and the gel time can be read of.
