Mooney viscosity is the #1 QC parameter in the rubber industry. Your incoming raw rubber, mixed compounds, and final products all depend on consistent, accurate viscosity measurement. The CF8558 delivers lab-grade precision with ±0.3°C temperature control and 0.01 Mooney Unit resolution—because every tenth of a Mooney unit matters in your process.

Q: What's the difference between ML 1+4 and ML 1+8?
A: ML 1+4 = 1 min preheat + 4 min test (most common). ML 1+8 = 1 min preheat + 8 min test (used when longer shearing is needed). Both are pre-programmed.
Q: Can I test silicone rubber?
A: Yes, the CF8558 handles all rubber types from soft silicone (ML < 10) to stiff tire compounds (ML > 100).
Q: How often does it need calibration?
A: Annual calibration is recommended. We provide a reference compound for routine verification. Recalibration service available.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Clean die surfaces after each test, lubricate the rotor shaft monthly, and verify with reference compound weekly. Full maintenance guide included.
