We provide analytical services for raw materials, finished products and processes. Furthermore, we offer technical and administrative training at different levels.
Characterization of polymers, resins, additives and raw materials from different suppliers, in order to determine if those materials are equivalent and to validate interchangeability.
Characterization of polymers, resins, composites and rubbers by different analytical techniques. For example Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Infrared, UV Visible spectroscopy, mechanical properties and complete molecular weight distribution.
Polymers, resins, composites and rubbers from different batches are compared in order to determine if those materials are equivalent and to validate interchangeability. This will guaranty that the new materials will be processed in the same way as the previous one, and there will not be any processing problem so as that the product quality will be the same for products obtained by injection, injection-blow, extrusion, extrusion-blow, by curing or any other used processes.
Formulation studies using rapid analytical methods such as calorimetry, allow us to fulfill with development times, and also to comply with the required mechanical and rheological properties (in shear and in extension modes) for the material to be processed and for the finished product. This kind of studies can be done for products without any charge and for composite materials (filled with particles) o for reinforced materials (filled with fibers).
Formulation studies for optimizing resin properties and curing optimizing process for the case of composites for the aerospace industry and others, where prepregs and thermosetting resins are used, where standards must be fulfilled.
Formulation studies for optimizing composition of rubbers and other soft and elastic materials and optimizing the curing process in order to fulfill with the required final properties such as softness, elasticity, hardness, mechanical properties and shelf life.
Caducity or shelf life determination of finished product for any type of application, by using fast analytical methods.
Assay of plastic products, including automotive and aerospace parts with processing problems, for its diagnostic and recommendations for alternatives of solution.
Assay of plastic products, including automotive and aerospace parts with operating failure for diagnostic and recommendations for alternatives of solution.
Optimization of operating conditions for plastics, resins in processes such as for example extrusion, injection, extrusion blow, injection blow and mold filling and processing of composites (filled, reinforced, prepregs) and rubbers. This operating conditions optimization will better product properties and productivity in those processes, and product out of specs will be reduce.
