Polymer additives are therefore a very exciting R&D area leading to development of new applications of plastics.

• Norner is specialist in development and testing of differenct additive recipes for different thermoplastic materials. 
• Norner runs a portfolio of customer projects in this field and is a key resource in several R&D programs.
• A success factor is our extensive contacts with additive suppliers, polymer producers and end users.

Our methods and equipment are

• Accurate sample preparation e.g. extraction
• HPLC with following detectors:
  • UV–VIS / DAD (Diode Array Detector)
  • RI-Dector (Refractive Dectector)
• GC with following detectors:
  • FID (Flame Ionization Detector)
  • MS (Mass Spectrometry)
  • Thermal desorber and headspace and SPME

Additive performance testing

• New equipment for antistatic measurements
• New methods for Gas Fading, Filter testing and Friability
