PSL maintains a polymer viscosity testing laboratory. The laboratory is on hand to evaluate the total variability of a customer’s polymer samples. A report is prepared by our specially trained technicians and this is typically used as the basis for discussion on how customers can improve their measurement accuracy.
The PSL Polymer Testing Laboratory also prepares a range of polymer standards. These are designed to verify the user’s ability to determine common values such as relative, inherent, specific and intrinsic viscosity.
Technical & Service Support
PSL has established a wide base of users throughout the world. Whilst some customers are more than proficient to look after their own instruments, PSL is on hand to provide further technical and service support. Typically, on-site service is provided by dedicated RHEOTEK service engineers or by authorized agents.
RHEOTEK USA, Inc
PSL established RHEOTEK USA, Inc in 1999 to sell and provide support to RHEOTEK instruments throughout North America. Based in Kentucky, the company is well located to support customers throughout the States. Local sales representatives support the company on the West coast, as well as Texas, Mid West and the North East.
