Mechanical test which includes falling from a height of a dart with a defined weight. The test is performed by impacting a defined potential energy with a dart of standard dimensions. Essentially performed to evaluate failure of plastic substrates or […]
Mechanical characterization tests representing the intrinsic behavior of the material when subjected to external stresses. Plastlab laboratories have the option of using two dynamometers based on the test to be performed and the sample to be tested: Instron dynamometer with […]
Instrument that allows you to magnify samples up to 1000x through the use of the visible spectrum and a series of lenses. The optical microscope is one of the basic tools in laboratories that perform characterizations on polymers and elastomers, […]
qualitative technique often used for the analysis of defects in polymeric materials and metals. The SEM technique, literally Scanning Electronical Microscopy, exploits the excitation of the electrons inside the atoms of the sample to take a “photograph” of the piece […]
Quali-quantitative thermoanalytical technique capable of exploiting the increase in temperature and inert or oxidizing atmospheres to identify the quantity and nature of the various components of the compounds. The thermogravimetric technique therefore exploits the increase in temperature and the change […]
Thermoanalytical method that allows to measure the energy exchanges and therefore determine the thermal characteristics and phase changes of the material, in addition to the % crystallinity of the semi-crystalline polymers. Differential scanning calorimetry, as can be guessed from the […]
Qualitative technique for the identification of the molecular nature of materials such as rubbers and plastics. Each organic material has its own infrared spectrum, determined by the vibrational modes of the atoms and their chemical surroundings in the molecule itself. […]
