Polymers

Our plastics laboratory offers numerous microscopic and spectroscopic methods to determine, for example, the cause of contaminations or injection molding defects as part of a plastics damage analysis. The experts in our plastics laboratory also have extensive experience in analyzing problems during the further processing of plastics, such as galvanization or painting, or when unexpected changes occur in the plastic component due to external influences.

Our plastics testing laboratory checks the specifications of an injection molded part and/or the polymer. Component tests include, for example, mechanical, thermal, optical, or rheological properties, as well as geometry, density, paint layer thickness, electrical resistance, etc. Furthermore, our chemical laboratory offers polymer characterization through chemical analysis of the plastic used, covering polymer type, additive and filler content, moisture, solution viscosity, and many other parameters, or we analyze emissions from the component.

In a testing laboratory specifically geared towards the automotive industry, plastic products are tested for their quality. Environmental simulation allows the reproduction of the influence of light, temperature, humidity, harmful gases, or salt spray in the laboratory. Furthermore, the chemical resistance of the plastic surface to various media (sweat, oils, sunscreen, solvents, etc.) can be tested, and abrasion resistance can be examined.

We would be pleased to provide you with a non-binding offer for plastics testing, optimized for your specific inquiry.
