- Analysis and characterization
How do we characterize and analyze our materials?
Our integrated laboratory and partnerships allow us to characterize our polymer materials (silicones, polyurethanes, acrylics, and epoxies). We are also part of an ecosystem that promotes innovation and supports research and development efforts through several research partnerships and strategic collaborations.
Our materials are developed and characterized using our dedicated equipment and access to cutting-edge technologies (mechanical testing, rheology, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, aging tests, etc.). Our internal analysis and control protocols comply with existing standards.
How do we design and conduct various tests and trials?
Within our laboratory, or in collaboration with academic and private partner laboratories, we conduct mechanical analyses and characterize various raw materials, formulations, and materials according to our internal protocols: • Composites, foams, gels, elastomers, liquid resins, crosslinked products…
Tests and measurements
- Mechanical trials (traction) (ISO 37 …)
- Rheology (study of the thixotropic and shear-thinning behavior of fluids …)
- Determination of glass transition temperatures
- Reactivity (gel time, exothermic …) (ISO 2535)
- Raw material control
- Crosslinking follow-up
- Viscosity (ISO 11443, ISO 120582, ISO 2555)
- Hardness (ISO 7619, ISO 868)
- Density measurement
The equipment at our disposal and our access to cutting-edge technologies:
• Rheometer, Kinetech, Viscositech, Rheotech, Brookfield, Durometers, tensile Machine, GPC, NMR, Mass Spectroscopy, IR, DSC, ATG …
Want to know more about material characterization?
We can manage custom multi-chemistry development projects and their industrialization thanks to our expertise in polymer chemistry. We handle complex projects, from custom development to industrialization. We define your specifications together:
- Your requirements,
- Your implementation processes,
- And/or the final application of the product.
Dedicated contacts (sales engineer, R&D) will support you throughout the project. We have extensive experience in characterizing the following materials: composites, foams, gels, elastomers, liquid resins, cross-linked products, and many more.
