Course 1

Rheology & Viscosity Made Easy

Rheology & Viscosity Made Easy

By Joshua Marsh
See Course Summary

Get tangible data and directions from rheology by knowing how to translate pourability, sag resistance… into rheology targets (complex modulus, yield stress, shear rate...).

Joshua Marsh will provide a clarity around the core fundamentals without the complexity of equations, that enables efficient management of the rheological profile of your product.

Support your developments by selecting the right rheology test in practice.
