Polymer Consultants
We are a dedicated test house offering independent testing and consultancy to the polymer industry. Most of the companies we work with are well known household names. Our sophisticated testing and simulations enable us to provide a range of time and cost saving solutions. The techniques include; MFR/MVR, instrumented impact testing, flow simulation, FTIR, capillary rheometry,DSC & TGA and lab-scale compounding/film blowing. We are proud to be ISO9001:2008 registered. Whether its a contamination issue or an extrusion line problem, contact us today to see how we can help you.Request a Quote Supplied by Fleming Polymer Ltd -
Polymer elasticity inferred by die swell
Fleming PTC has added a laser die swell system to its Malvern Instruments Rosand RH7 twin bore capillary rheometer. The system allows the accurate and continuous measurement of polymer die swell, which is an important rheological measurement, instrumental in the understanding of elasticity. Elasticity is important in polymer extrusion, since most polymers in the melt phase are viscoelastic.Request a Quote Supplied by Fleming Polymer Ltd -
Polymer Flow Simulation
Much die design has historically involved a significant degree of black art, Compuplast firmly believe this can be removed via the use of their software which melds vast industrial experience with academic rigour. Considerable mathematics is involved in a subject as complex as flow simulation, however, Compuplast have enabled toolmakers and managing directors alike to solve process problems at the touch of a button with only a modicum of training. This has been made possible by a program front end which effectively links recognisable process features with the complex procedures necessary to solve what are non-trivial problemsRequest a Quote Supplied by Fleming Polymer Ltd -
Polymer Impact Testing
Impact testing today constitutes an important end product and fit for purpose test. Following manufacture, many products will experience some form of service impact specific to their environment, it is the aim of the impact tester to replicate these service impacts in order to assess their fitness for purpose. Impact testing is generally governed by standards which cater for a wide range of materials. One of the most well known standards is ISO6603-part 2 which covers instrumented impact, our area of expertise. Non-standard testing can also be accomodated for sub-assemblies provided the requisite jigs are used.Request a Quote Supplied by Fleming Polymer Ltd -
Polymer Indentification
Using FTIR testing and access to the vast Bio-Rad spectral database, we are able to quickly identify almost any polymer. Thanks to the Perkin Elmer Spectrum Two, with ATR accessory, only a tiny slither of a material or product is required for the test.
