C.W. Brabender Instruments, Inc.

C.W. Brabender Instruments, Inc. for over 75 years has manufuctured testing equipment designed for measuring and recording viscosity, consistency, thermal stability, plasticity, rheology, extensibility, and processability of various polymers.

C.W. Brabender Instruments Inc. is the original manufacturer of the torque rheometer. The recording dynamometer system was developed by Carl W. Brabender in 1930. The first recording dynamometer unit was known as the Farinograph® and was manufactured for the Milling & Baking Industry to measure the consistency of dough. During the mid 1930's growing developments in the Chemical Industry required updated technology to define the processing characteristics of various polymers. Hence, the Plasti-Corder® was introduced. Throughout the years, the Brabender Plasti-Corder® has been the standard by which all others are judged. We have always been committed to providing our customers with superior products and superb service.
