Polymers, Resins, and Elastomers
Discovering new formulations, additives to enhance performance and lower cost of polymer made products and supporting product development and customers through reverse engineering and root cause analysis of any polymer, rubber or resin based material.
Global accounts and small sized industries, in automotive, tire, consumer electronics, plastic components, cables and of course, in the polymer and intermediate materials market, rely on Thermo Scientific products and expertise for the success of their businesses. Their processes are continuously monitored by our laboratory and on-line technologies confirming the consistency of their production throughout their global organizations; their new products are discovered by using our technologies proving the structural / physical properties and the compositional assumptions made by their scientists. Their customers are supported by using our Thermo Scientific innovative tools, which truly simplify operation and provide the highest level of confidence in the answer, even when facing the toughest analytical challenges. From simple additives concentration measurements to more sophisticated investigations including crystallinity, orientation, carbon nanotubes implementations or root cause analysis, Thermo Scientific always plays a truly strategic role, delivering a partnership they can trust.
Compositional, structural, and quantitative analysis by spectroscopy techniques including FT-IR, Raman and NIR. Deformulation and root cause analysis by TGA/IR and FT-IR microscopy. Physical properties including color, haze and UV resistance by UV-Vis. Analysis of sub-micron surface treatments and coatings by XPS; comprehensive line of informatics solutions for management, tracking and reporting of laboratory data and process. Other Thermo Scientific products available for rheology and process control of polymers.
