CRYSTEX: Automated Xylene Solubles in Polypropylene with Viscometer and Composition Detectors
16 Aug 2011This application note describes the CRYSTEX technique, based on the separation of cycle plus filtration inside a stainless steel vessel. It provides results in the determination of the xylene soluble percentage, also known as xylene extractables (XS), in polypropylene. The intrinsic viscosity and ethylene contents of the whole polymer and its amorphous and crystalline fractions can be determined, as well as the soluble fraction percentage, which directly relates to xylene solubles. The full automation of CRYSTEX makes it an alternative to manual (ISO 6427, part B).

ViscometersViscometers are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Types of viscometer include rotational, vibrational and falling piston viscometers. Options for viscometers include modular, portable, benchtop and temperature compensation and density measurement features.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
