Substance data determination

Decades of experience in the field of processing and materials analysis and testing, combined with our wide range of testing options, enable us to solve a wide variety of tasks. Our services range from the determination of rheological and thermodynamic material data of polymer melts, wood-thermoplastic compounds and PIM feedstocks to the clarification of damage cases and the development of customised polymer blends.

What we do:
  • Material data for injection moulding and extrusion simulation
  • Rheology
  • Characterisation and identification of polymers
  • Thermal analysis
  • Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
  • Failure analysis
  • Solution of processing problems
  • Consulting and training
