Our services in the field of physical-chemical analysis, specially tailored to your company:

Material characterization – identification and composition
Failure analysis
Process optimization
Quality control
Research and product development

Our methods are all state of the art and are carried out according to recognized rules of technology.

Material characterization – identification and composition

Depending on the field of application, different requirements are placed on one and the same material. Differences in purity or composition can have a major impact on the desired properties. With our methods, we can characterize plastics, lubricants, (cosmetic) emulsions, suspensions, adhesives, resins, paints and coatings for their physicochemical properties and identify individual components.

We examine your material for
purity/impurities
composition
additive, filler content
physical properties
        flow properties (viscosity)
        stability (segregation rate)
        melting point
        density
        and much more.
With our numerous methods in spectroscopy, thermal analysis, rheology and tensiometry, we can help you identify even completely unknown compositions.

Troubleshooting

Even the smallest errors during production can lead to a reduction in the quality of a product. Since there are considerable costs associated with defective production, it is important to take action as quickly as possible. We therefore inspect your products for contamination, thermal and mechanical damage and carry out a trace search with you.
In components, defects often become visible through

  particles, stains, fibers, films, residues or deposits.

The causes for this can be different. Organic or inorganic contamination can occur before, during or after the actual production process, for example due to faulty sample preparation, cleaning or setting of different parameters.
With our many years of experience in this field, we know how important it is to obtain fast results and suitable solutions for your product.

Process optimization

We are happy to support you in optimizing your process parameters. In order to carry out a smooth production process, the process parameters must be matched as precisely as possible to the desired product. Therefore, it is important to characterize the product or the materials and to determine properties such as

  chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance.

We identify and characterize your product and starting materials, perform a defect analysis and check their quality. We are happy to advise you in the optimization of your process parameters.

Quality control

Batch and incoming goods inspections give you certainty about the quality of your products and reactants. In industry, regular quality controls are very important for the satisfaction of your customers.

With our numerous analytical methods (such as spectroscopy, thermal analysis, rheology, etc.) we check both the raw materials of your suppliers and your own batches at regular intervals.

In addition to identifying materials and their compositions, we can also check your products for stability as well as chemical, thermal and mechanical properties and resistance. Furthermore, storage tests can be carried out with our climatic, thermal and vacuum drying cabinets.
We will be happy to advise you on suitable quality control methods and work with you to find cost-effective alternatives to costly analytical methods.

Research and development

The further development of existing products or the research on a new product are important building blocks on the way to the future of a company. These points can even decide on the continued existence of a company. On the other hand, research and development unfortunately often turns out to be complicated and is therefore almost always associated with setbacks and thus with costs, risk and the waste of manpower.

To support you in this progress, we offer you a low-risk model for contract research and development. This will save you unnecessary costs in the worst case and help you to advance or even complete your project at low cost in the best case.

If we could arouse your interest, do not hesitate to contact us! We will be happy to explain how you can advance your project with little risk and our cooperation.

During the realization of your project an extended cooperation with different universities, research institutes and project partners is also possible, in case not all points can be covered by us alone.
