Laboratory research of polymer plastics

1) Execution of samples for testing of plastics (extruded, compacted).

This activity consists in extrusion or injection of the test material into the appropriate form

2) Qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical composition of plastics by gas chromatography.

Determination of the content of phthalate derivatives in polymeric plastics

3) Identification of chemical compositions (Pb, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Se, Cr, Hg, Sn) by atomic absorption spectrometry.

Determination of the content of selected chemical elements in polymeric plastics

4) Density determination of plastics.

Determination of density of solids by means of hydrostatic balance using inverse liquid

5) Determination of bulk density and powder flow.

Determination of bulk density and flow rate using a graduated cylinder

6) Color measurement in CIE L * a * b * using a spectrophotometer.

Analyzing a sample using an optical system at a specific light source

7) Determining the moisture content of the sample.

Determining the water content of the material using a moisture analyzer

8) Mass determination (MFR) and volumetric (MVR) melt index.

Determination of flow rate of plastified plastic using a plasticizer

9) Microscopic analysis of the moldings and evaluation of the quality of the extruded material.

Identification of defects and inclusions in the raw material and finished product

10) Powder sieve analysis.

Divide the fraction into fractions using the appropriate sieves and determine the percentage of grains in the fraction

11) Determination of the presence of metals in the test sample.

Material analysis by detector and metal separator

12) Shore hardness determination.

Indentation of indentation into a suitably prepared material

13) Determination of water absorption.

Determination of absorption of the test material under specified conditions

14) Determination of flammability of extruded articles subjected to ignition.

Flammability rating and material identification using flame source

15) Process analysis processing using extrusion, injection molding or
laboratory mill.
