Small scale extrusion laboratory
Norner compounding experts can determine the effect of processing and degradation of polymers on their final performance.
- Degradation of plastic material is an important issue when it comes to the practical use of plastic materials.
- By multiple extrusions we are able to determine how well plastic materials, recipes or blends are stabilised with regards to process conditions and further use.
- Small scale laboratory extruders allow us to carry out tests with minimum quantity of material to simulate processing degradation.
Polymer degradation can be studied by different methods
- Melt flow rate and colour deviations
- Molecular weight distribution
- Spectroscopy
- Chromatography
- Differential Scanning Calorimeter
- Morphology by light microscopy
The project plan and specifications will be designed together with our customer in order to ensure appropriate results.
