The Haake series 1 rheometer manufactured by Thermo Electron has received iF International Forum Design's Materialica design award

The Haake series 1 rheometer manufactured by Thermo Electron has received iF International Forum Design's Materialica design award The instrument's pioneering combination of design and materials was the decisive factor for bestowing the award

Unlike conventional base frames made from cast aluminum or metal, the Thermo Haake unit's base frame is made from polymer concrete.

While this alloy presents both manufacturing- and design-related challenges, its composition offers several key performance advantages.

Polymer concrete has a higher degree of mechanical rigidness, absorbs vibration better, guarantees rapid temperature compensation and is more resistant to solvents.

This revolutionary base frame is now the foundation for an entire series of rheometers used in both scientific and industrial environments for material characterization applications.

The award-winning instrument will be displayed at the Materialica show, 16-18 September in Munich.
