Chemistry testing services

In our modern chemical laboratory, we perform analytical and synthetic work. We apply established chemical and physical-chemical analytical procedures and develop new methods if required. We develop new formations, especially in the field of polymers with special properties.

Range of services

We offer the following services:

  • Characterisation and identification of plastics
  • Determination of particle size in the nm to µm range
  • Separation and component determination of mixtures
  • Characterisation of phase transformations
  • Measurement of the surface tension
  • Determination of contact angle by sessile drop method
  • Determination of the surface energies
  • Analysis and visualisation of surfaces in the nm range
  • Emulsification and dispersion with high shear rates on a laboratory scale
  • Determination of the absorption of solutions in the visible, IR, NIR and UV range
  • Reactions conducted under pressure
  • Multi-stage syntheses conducted in the mg to g range
  • Extraction and characterisation of ingredients
  • Quantitative determination of monomer residues, biocides, etc.
  • Characterisation of substances and formulations for quality control, e.g. adhesives or paints
  • Chemical modification of nanoparticles and surfaces
  • Development of UV and blue-light curable polymers
  • Development of hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings
  • Development of self-cleaning coatings
