How does FILAB support you in the analysis and characterization of your polymers?
Polymers include, among others, thermoplastic or thermosetting materials (PE, PP, PET, PVC, PTFE,) composite materials, or polymer-based formulations (paints, glue, resin, varnish…). They are used in many industries for their lightness, flexibility or insulating properties.
Here are some examples of polymer families that can be handled in the FILAB laboratory:
PP Analysis
Analysis PVC
Copolymer analysis
Resin analysis
Packaging analysis
PE analysis
Elastomer analysis
Rubber analysis
Composite analysis
Silicone analysis
