Polymer Technology Solutions from the New Standpoint.

Here you find software tools for polymerization, plastics manufacturing industry and research making your work easier, rising quality and accelerating your product developments.

New Standpoint

Finally something fundamental new in rheology after 140 years use of the Maxwell model by different modifications: Control Theory is the kernel of this Polymer Technology Web, the background was published very recently at high valuated scientific journal.

In our three published manuscripts we applied control theory to model the linear relationship between the relaxation modulus, dynamic and shear viscosity, transient flow effects and CAD/CAE/CFD simulations all related to the molecular weight distribution (MWD). Moreover power law, Cox-Merz rule and orientation level can be explained.

Software Packages

You can use these same features, as we have coded software packages for your work as follows:

RheoPower rheology software family:

RheoAnalyzer detects MWD (Molecular Weight Distribution) from viscoelastic measurements.
RheoDeveloper for modelling and simulating MWD and properties.

DataPower software family for CAD/CAE/CFD simulation business:

RheoFlow software is for simulating simple flows.
DataPower Server gives continuous viscoelastic data via TCP/IP protocol to the simulating CAD/CAM/CAE software Clients.

The red measured viscosity function and yellow marked range in use. The blue fit viscosity function has a wider range. Also on right is shown the computation results as MWD and data label of polymer. Click on the figure to zoom it.

Some Benefits of RheoPower

The work with RheoPower software family gives you following benefits:

It is the fastest way to analyse viscoelastic material.
It accelerates your material development and design of polymerization, extrusion and injection moulding processes.
Repeatable results for a sample are computed in a minute.
MWD analyses and accurate wide viscoelastic fits are generated as viscosity, dynamic properties, relaxation modulus and transient effects difficult or even impossible to measure.
Impressive charts, research and new standpoints can be generated by the published principle starting on Control Theory.
You can generate your own publications as background theory of software has gone thru very tight peer review procedure for the published papers.

These advantages give you many benefits at low cost not possible to get before.

Some Features of RheoPower

The RheoPower software family was developed for material analyses and all types of development work:

Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) is computed directly from viscoelastic measurements.
Wide accurate fits also for other viscoelastic properties as transition, relaxation modulus and spectrum.
Computation principles are proofed by Control Theory.
The best proof of the published principle is the computation results.
Package can be used during design polymerization, extrusion, injection and other processes.
Used main polymer structure function P( ) relates directly to the chain orientation level.
Analytical and more practical characteristic models give flexibility.

These features motivate cost-savings, control, and efficiency of your work.

Principles of software procedures and other background:

Shortly theoretical background of all our software products.
Engineering and Services with software.
Extrusion design and historical review.

New!
On other pages you find demonstration and training flash videos and instructions for software packages.

Trial Software Downloads and Sales

Some instructions are listed for free trial edition before you buy, sales information for customers, local distributors and OEM partnerships:

Trials and Demos
Request a free trial edition of fully functional for 30 days RheoPower software package before you buy it.

you get additional information, as download address or mailed CD.

Sales
Welcome to the sales information section of the TomCoat website. We thank you in advance for expressing interest in our software products. For several countries we are budding distribution arrangements. Our products may be purchased via our local distributors and, for all other countries, contact

TomCoat directly info@tomcoat.com

to get price list, an offer and more information.

TomCoat Oy may be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase when accompanied by a signed statement that the software has been uninstalled and all copies of the software and documentation have been destroyed.

OEM partnerships and local distributors are welcome!
Most instrument vendors concentrate on their field of experience. This is obviously development of top quality and high performance analytical instruments. Our expertise focuses on analytical software development to provide optimal tools to handle and evaluate analytical data coming from such instruments.

Why not join both expertises together and become OEM partners or local distributors? Please contact us. We will help you to make your instrument or add-on sales even more valuable to your customers.

Summarized

The new principle based on Control Theory gives much higher accuracy between deformations and properties as newer earlier. Thus this ultra-correlation looks unbelievable, so that please study other pages and theory papers to evaluate yourself the case and reasons for our success.

Summarized: Although above presented forms linear relationship between viscoelastic flows linked by MWD and Control Theory, also during software coding we have to invent new algorithms to carry on computations, which results will be published later similar way in a journal of computer science.
