Your needs: validate the quality and performance of your copolymers
A copolymer is a polymer resulting from the copolymerization of at least two types of monomers. It is therefore formed of at least two repeating units.
Copolymers have physico-chemical and mechanical properties that are intermediate to those obtained from polymers alone.
However, faced with these even more complex structures, the chemical analysis and characterization of copolymers becomes an important step in the control of their transformation and the prediction of possible failures.
Plastics manufacturers, raw material producers, processors, finished product manufacturers, you are looking for the skills of a reliable analytical laboratory with high technical added value for the analysis and characterization of your copolymer materials.
Our solutions: support you in the analysis and characterization of your copolymers.
By combining specific analytical tools for polymers and copolymers with reliable and accurate scientific interpretations, FILAB laboratory assists manufacturers in optimizing their manufacturing processes, in the search for substitute materials and in solving failure problems on copolymer materials.
With a strong experience in the analysis of copolymers and a large analytical park, FILAB offers the following services
- Characterization of copolymers: study of physicochemical and thermal properties by DSC, ATG, ATG-FTIR, GPC, NMR, SEM and FTIR
- Custom chemical analysis to determine the components of a copolymer: search for additives by GC-MS, Py-GCMS, LCMSMS, CI…
- Deformation of copolymers
- Determination of the molecular structure by GPC
- Compatibility study between copolymer materials and fluids
- Analytical development related to the dosage of additives in copolymers
