Equipment - PTG Eindhoven

Confocal Raman spectroscopy

Confocal raman spectroscopy is perfect for research the Molecular fingerprint of most organic and inorganic materials.

Contact angle

Contact angle measurement.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

TA Instruments DSC250 with autosampler to analyse thermal properties of materials, such as melting point, crystallization temperature, glass transition temperature

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA)

DMTA Q800 techniques.

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

For identification and quantitation of volatile and semi-volatile compounds (VOC and SVOC). We use GC-MS, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. It delivers high throughput, rugged dependability, and great results.

Impact testing (Izod & Charpy)

With the impact-tester is how we test the strength of a material. “If you accidentally drop your Child's toy on the ground, you don’t want it to break. A Charpy impact test can be performed on polymer materials to analyze mechanical properties. These properties are very important when it comes to designing and producing common polymer products such as toys”.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy

IR infrared spectroscopy is the measurement of the interaction of infrared radiation with matter by absorption, emission, or reflection. It is used to study and identify chemical substances or functional groups in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms.

Karl-Fischer Titration (KF)

For measuring water content in any sample. Our 139 Metrohm 831 KF Coulometer in combination with a Thermoprep 832 oven can measure water content from ppb-level to 100% with ease.

Melt Flow Index (MFI) tester

MFI - Micro-Flow Imaging is an established and frequently-used wonderful technique for sizing, quantifying, visualizing and identifying (sub-) visible particles.
