Plastic analytics

The analysis laboratory offers chemical analyzes of plastics with regard to polymer type, additive and filler content, fiber content, moisture, viscosity and various other parameters according to current standards.

Other services include examining the aging and boiling range of lubricating greases, quantifying plasticizers and pollutants in plastics and determining organic contamination.

Range of services: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive, X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), pyrolysis GC/MS, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Vicat softening point, gel permeation chromatography ( GPS).

Slide 3

DSC analysis

Investigation of the influence of processing conditions, effects of additives, aging effects, decomposition effects, damage analyzes and purity determinations.

Slide 2

IR Analysis

Statements can be made about product quality and whether a product is within specification. FTIR spectroscopy can also be used to analyze microscopic samples such as particles, inclusions and fibers.
