With years of expertise in materials testing and development, we do more than furnish our clients with raw results. We act as your partner throughout the process. We suggest the appropriate battery of tests, and assist in building the test methodology. Our reports contain a detailed description of the work conducted and provide interpretation and opinions on the obtained results when appropriate. Test methods can betransferred to the client for in-house quality control.

• Shear and extensional rheological characterization
• Morphological Analysis
• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
• Chemical Analysis
• Differential scanning calorimetry (conventional and modulated), infra-red spectroscopy (conventional and micro), dynamic and static surface tension, swelling analysis
