Gelnorm - DE is a novel measuring instrument for establishing the curing reaction of two-component reaction resin systems (thermoset resins).

The new instrument is based on the determination of a function of electical conductivity as well as the capacitance of a resin sample. This electrical function enables to trace the curing process over the whole regime of the chemical reaction.
Hence, the instrument provides new possibilities to investigate the curing reaction of reaction resins such as:
- Epoxy resins
- Polyurethane resins
- Polyester resins
- Silicone rubbers
- Polysulphide rubbers
The electrical measuring technique offers numerous advantages compared to the various mechanical methods.
In contrast to the conventional rheological approach (based e.g. on rotation- or shear viscosimeters), the polymer sample is in no way and at no time subject to any kind of mechanical forces. Thus, any kind of mechanical distortion of the polymer structure during the curing can be excluded.
