Jul 12, 2012 New! Bread tug and lip balm application studies now available. We’re pleased to announce two new application studies as part of our vast library of application studies: The Bread Tug Tests for Extensibility uses the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer equipped with the TA-226 Tug Fixture to conduct tests on four different varieties of bread to measure each product’s extensibility and resistance to tearing. The Lip Balm Smackdown also showcases the flexibility of the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer in conjunction with the TA-317 Vertical Friction Rig and the TA-52 2 mm diameter puncture probe to test the firmness, stickiness, stiction, friction and payout of four popular brands of lip balm. For more information on these new application studies or another, please contact us. Return to Blog Home
