Polymer materials analysis laboratory
How can FILAB help you analyze and characterize your polymers?
Polymers include thermoplastic and thermosetting materials (PE, PP, PET, PVC, PTFE, etc.), composite materials and polymer-based formulations (paints, glues, resins, varnishes, etc.). They are used in many industries for their lightness, flexibility and insulating properties.
Here are just a few examples of the polymer families that can be handled in the FILAB laboratory.
