Webinar: Cure & Rheology Testing – MDR, Mooney & RPA Explained

April 27, 2027; 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET

Webinar Description: Your rheometer gives you a curve. Do you know what it is telling you?

MDR, Mooney and RPA results drive decisions every day, from releasing a batch to adjusting a cure system. Yet many people run these tests without fully understanding what the numbers mean. Join the experts at Alpha Technologies for a practical look at how each instrument works, what the key values tell you and how to catch a problem before it reaches production.

You need to attend if you answer NO to any of these questions:

• Can you explain what ML, MH, ts2 and t90 tell you about a compound?
• Do you know when to use an MDR, a Mooney viscometer or an RPA?
• When a cure curve shifts, can you tell what changed and why?

Come to this webinar and you will:

• understand what the MDR, Mooney viscometer and RPA each measure
• read a cure curve and interpret its key values
• connect test results to processing and quality decisions

Better data starts with better understanding.

Category: Testing & Quality

Who Should Attend: Lab technicians, quality professionals, compounders, process engineers and technical sales staff who run, review or rely on cure and rheology data. Some technical background is helpful.

Price: Free for Members / $99 Non-members
