EXPERT WITHIN THERMOANALYSIS AND ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

General chemical support

With the help of our broad chemical knowledge and experience, many types of chemical and chemical-physical issues can be supported by TermoLab. We can also, through collaboration with external laboratories, take on most questions in the field of chemical issues, investigations and evaluations where there is a need.

Chemical resistance

ThermoLab also performs various types of chemical resistance assessments in a variety of materials. We also look at combinations of disinfectants and how it can affect different types of materials. If a first theoretical evaluation results in tests being carried out, these tests can also be supported and compiled.

Optimization of process parameters

The settings made in the process is very important for the quality of the products you will get. Many times you want the most efficient process possible for a product, but it must not happen at the expense of poorer quality. ThermoLab will be happy to test materials before and the finished products to ensure quality throughout the process. Here you also have the opportunity to optimize the process with temperatures, pressures and cycle times, and make direct tests to arrive at the most favorable settings. We can also support tests to visualize how the process works over time.

Tests for end customer

Many issues and problems may arise from the end customer's use of the product, and TermoLab can also enter and assist with support and testing. There may even be special requests from the end customer for testing or verification of properties or quality, and we will be happy to help. At the end customer, there may also be requirements for how the product is to be used and what it ´must withstand and be exposed to. Here you can see TermoLab as a great resource throughout the entire production chain from planning and development to end use. When assembling several different details of different materials, one should also make a material compatibility analysis that TermoLab can help with. This is often needed to avoid ESC (Environmental Stress Cracking), which is one of the most common causes of material failure.

Monitoring of raw materials and products

In order to ensure a consistent quality of products and input raw materials, periodic tests should be performed. This is a good way to avoid problems and cuts as a result and can save you huge costs. Variations in raw materials can be difficult to detect until it's too late. Here, TermoLab can perform specially designed tests to monitor quality. The end customer may also require the product to have specific properties and ThermoLab may help to extract the required data.

Link between material supplier and companies

TermoLab can handle questions about materials against commodity manufacturers. When changing or exchanging material, we can assist with impact assessment and any tests that need to be done to ensure continued use.

Information flexibility

TermoLab works flexibly in cooperation with the customer to produce exactly the information you want. This may mean that new methods need to be developed in order to achive the precise information. We will also have a great deal of flexibility in our instrumentation and equipment, which means that we will provide information that may otherwise be difficult to detect.

Failure analysis

The properties of the plastic make them easily sought after for use in a variety of areas. Often there are unexpected problems and errors with some details. It may concern environmental stress cracking (ESC), material errors, incorrect compositions, etc. TermoLab can conduct failure analysis to find the problem and find solutions. Many problems can be avoided if at the early stages of product development, some tests are carried out to ensure the use of the product. Here, TermoLab can provide valuable support.

Monitoring of requirements and standards for materials

One important thing is to control what happens or will happen in the future with the raw materials and additives used in the manufacture of products. This is an area where a lot of things happen and in order to avoid problems in the future, it is important to lie a bit in the forefront. Replacing materials or additives is a difficult process. TermoLab can by agreement assist with surveillance and also tests that result from the exchange of materials and / or other topics.
