Testing, quality control and product evaluation is ensured through our extensive in-house laboratory.
We are equipped for:

• Light microscopy, polarised light analysis;
• laser particle size analysis (0,05µm – 2000µm range);
• moisture content analysis;
• injection-moulding with a complete set of ISO test standard moulds for shooting test specimens for polymer analysis;
• flammability testing (glow-wire testing);
• absolute moisture metering through Karl-Fischer titrator;
• MFI (Melt-Flow Index) / relative viscosity testing / intrinsic viscosity testing;
• filler content test / ash content test;
• tensile testing (tensile strength and flexural modulus);
• Charpy testing (impact strength / IZOD);
• hardness testing (Shore A & D);
• colorimetry (colour analysis);
• Vicat softening / heat deflection tests;
• DSC (polymer/compound composition); and
• heat agency test.

Other analyses and tests – reactivity tests, chemical, mineralogical and thermogravimetric analyses – are carried out at accredited laboratories affiliated to our own.
