Plastics analysis - thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers

Plastics analysis: thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers

Our analysis laboratory offers comprehensive plastic analyses for Thermoplastics, Thermosetting plastics and elastomersWe examine important properties such as the type of polymer, the content of additives and fillers, the fiber content, moisture, viscosity and many other parameters. All analyses are carried out according to common standards to ensure the quality and safety of the materials.

Further services in the field of plastics analysis

In addition to the analyses mentioned above, we also offer:

  • Investigation of the aging and boiling range of lubricating greases
  • Quantification of plasticizers and pollutants in plastics
