Solids and surface analysis
Our services
We perform comprehensive surface tests on your products and thus provide you with important information in respect of new product developments and quality assurance. With our wide range of microscopic methods, we are able to make exact statements on the material quality of polymer granules, moldings such as bumpers or CDs, pigment powders, coatings, active ingredient crystals and tablets. We determine phase homogeneity and can visualize deformation processes even in the smallest dimensions.
Your advantages
- We provide you with complete morphological descriptions including solids analyses within a few hours. Rapidly determining the causes of production problems enables you to eliminate possible defects in the shortest possible time and thus considerably increase the availability of your facilities.
- On the basis of sound analyses, you can make better decisions and minimize the risk of defects.
- The analyses provide you with important information on (possibly even critical) product characteristics and provide an ideal means of managing quality assurance – in product development as with existing products.
Our strengths
The people who work for us are specialists with many years of experience who are familiar with a wide range of materials and work with all the relevant microscopic methods. We also use the latest coupling and specialist technology, providing you not only with faster but also more reliable results on the characteristics of your products. Together with you, we develop tailor-made, highly efficient solutions.
