    Compounding
  1. A lab-scale Betol 25mm single screw extruder is available for developmental compounding trials. The line is equipped with a water bath and pelletizer for the production of pellets such that the result.
  2. Instrumented Impact Test
  3. 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 including plastics, composites and metals.
  4. TGAmovie
  5. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) enables the relationship between material mass loss, temperature and environment to be established.TGA is a very useful tool for the analysis of polymers allowing moisture content, decomposition temperature, mineral and glass content to be established under various atmospheres.
