ASTM D 6204 B uses the Rubber Process Analyzer to quickly check a compound's processability.
If you're looking to gain insights on how a compound will process downstream through an injection press, extruder, or otherwise, ASTM D 6204 B is the perfect test.
This test method utilizes a frequency sweep at elevated strains to better simulate the pre-cure viscoelastic properties of any compound. Running this test prior to processing saves scrap-headaches and allows you to bring your manufacturing processes and compounds closer together.
