Cosmetic products have different rheological behaviours depending on how they were formulated and on their use.Read more
Actuation force of syringes
Analysis with 4 differents syringes
The compression test used allows us to assess the actuation force needed to push liquid outside the syringe. Thanks to the adjustable workbench, it can be used for syringes with a diameter between 0.9cm and 2.9cm in diameter.Read more
Hair gel texture analysis
Measurement using a spherical probe
Compression-relaxation-traction test also known as CRT is used to determine the elasticity, the consistency and the stickiness of soft sample. Knowing theses parameters, it becomes possible to determine the firmness, the cohesion and the threading nature of the products.Read more
Back extrusion of shampoo
The disc plunger performs a compression test which extrudes the product up and around the edge of the disc. This test measures the consistency of viscous products, like shampoo.Read more
Firmness of deodorants
Cylindrical probes are used to make penetration test on hard samples such as deodorant sticks. Doing this, we can determine the firmness of the stick.Read more
Body cream texture analysis
The determination of elasticity, consistency and adhesion for a cream is primordial in order to obtain the optimum texture for the targeted body area.Read more
Actuation force of toothpaste tube
Requiered strength to use the tube
Determination of the actuation force is needed to ensure the correct properties of the tube and a correct formulation for the toothpaste.Read more
Bloom test
Determination of gel force
Gel power measurement by compression test or Bloom value enables to quantify strength of gels, simply with a perfectly defined method, according European pharmacopeia.Read more
