In-house laboratory

Laboratory facilities

In our modern in-house laboratory facilities, we perform analyses to ensure products of the highest quality with the required specifications.

We offer a wide range of laboratory analyses that can be selected depending on individual needs.

Here is a selection of what we can offer

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a thermo analytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. This provides an overview of the polymeric materials that a sample consists of.

Melt Flow Index (MFI)

The Melt Flow Index is a measure of the ease of flow of the melt of a thermoplastic polymer. It is defined as the mass of polymer, in grams, flowing in ten minutes through a capillary of a specific diameter and length by a pressure applied via prescribed alternative gravimetric weights for alternative prescribed temperatures.

VICAT Softening Point

Vicat Softening Point is the determination of the softening point for materials that have no definite melting point.

Charpy Notched Impact Test

Charpy Impact Strength is a standardized high strain-rate test, which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture.

Ash Content

An Ash Content test is used to determine inorganic residues in materials. Inorganic residues found in plastics may be in the form of antiblock agents, fillers, reinforcements, catalyst residues and pigments.

Density

This standard test method allows determination of the density and specific gravity of plastic materials.

Customer-specific thermoplastic solutions

We guarantee high-quality deliveries and customer-specific solutions for thermoplastic materials. Our customized deliveries include, among other things, plastic granulates with the desired: MFR (Melt Flow Rate), impact modification, additives, and colouring
