Polymers
Development, characterization and root cause analysis of raw polymers and copolymers, additives, blends, compounding materials, master batch, extruded films and molded / finished parts.
Polymer materials developers and manufacturers are continuously challenged to reduce their cost and improve chemical, mechanical and aesthetic performance, targeting the ambitious goal of becoming alternative solutions to metals or materials of other nature. This can be achieved through comprehensive chemical, physical and rheological characterization, and this is where Thermo Scientific assists the polymer industry value chain in every phase of its process including raw materials quality control, on-line monitoring, deformulation, root-cause analysis, new product development and data interpretation and management. Thermo Scientific is renowned to provide the expertise, instrumentation, software and global support critical for the success of any industry: from small batch companies to global accounts, from polymer manufacturers to automotive, food packaging, consumer electronics and all other industries processing or using polymers for their product development.
Coatings
