Compression molded films, sheets, rheology disks, laminates

Compression molding is used to produce sheet specimens for use in e.g. DMTA, rheology or tensile tests. The desired thickness of a film specimen can be achieved by choosing the right die from the range available. A cassette cooling system is in place for cooling the molds.

XRD is a great technique to determine the crystal structure of materials.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the crystal structure of materials. It operates on the principle of detecting diffraction patterns when X-rays are scattered by the atoms within a crystal lattice and relating these patterns to the different atomic planes within the crystal. XRD enables the identification and quantification of crystal structures using an extensive database. The technique is useful for assessing the crystallinity of polymers, identifying the type of crystalline fillers in a composite, and characterizing minerals and metals.

With our Infrared Camera we can measure the temperature of materials with high emissivity in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 1 μm, or for measuring temperature through thin layers of materials transparent in this wavelength range.

The ultra-compact and highly precise IR camera has a large dynamic range for non-contact two-dimensional temperature measurements across a broad temperature range. It is especially suited for measuring the temperature of materials with high emissivity in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 1 μm, or for measuring temperature through thin layers of materials transparent in this wavelength range. Examples of applications include visualizing and recording the evolution over time of temperature profiles of solid and molten metals during various processes or observing heat development in materials contained in quartz sample holders.
