Artis to work with Gammadot Rheology
Gammadot Rheology and ARTIS, (the commercialised research arm of Avon Rubber p.l.c), are investigating potential projects & services the two companies can co-operatively offer to the polymer industry. Martyn Bennett, ARTIS’ Chief Scientist, commented, "a partner with complimentary rheological skills in the thermoplastics sector will allow us to expand the services we can offer to our clients and we are looking forward to working with Gammadot".
Gammadot will provide ARTIS with capability to supply rheological characterisation of thermoplastic and thermoset materials, including specific behaviour for use with Moldflow and Sigmasoft moulding simulation software and PVT characterisation for bulk modulus, volume coefficient of expansion and shrinkage effects
The relationship will be mutually beneficial in that ARTIS can offer some unique rheological characterisation for rubber and TPE/TPV materials, whilst being able to offer Gammadot’s expertise in the plastics sector to its customers. Mark Edwards, Gammadot’s Principal said, “The staff at ARTIS have a wealth of experience supplying testing and solutions to problems in a production environment and Gammadot is excited about the potential of forming a synergistic working relationship with ARTIS".
