Equipment for Plastics Analysis and Testing
Analysis and quality control activities in the plastics industry require specialized instruments depending on the material properties and the type of test to be performed. ATS FAAR offers a variety of solutions for plastics sample preparation and characterization, as well as for physical, mechanical and thermal testing.
Sample Preparation.
Sample preparation is an important step in ensuring that subsequent analysis and quality control procedures are carried out correctly. Depending on the type of material and the test to be performed, we supply a range of equipment for preparing samples that meet specific laboratory requirements.
Our product range includes presses, die-cutting machines and notching machines, as well as climatic chambers for sample conditioning. These solutions enable laboratories to carry out this initial stage of testing accurately and efficiently.
Raw Material Characterization.
Raw material characterization provides valuable information about the properties and characteristics of materials used in different manufacturing processes.
To meet the diverse requirements of laboratories in the plastics industry, ATS FAAR offers equipment to determine Melt Flow Index, density and melting point, as well as systems to determine ash content, carbon black content and HCl content. Our range also includes Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) equipment and sieve shakers, allowing us to provide solutions for a variety of characterization and quality control activities.
Physical and Mechanical Testing.
Physical and mechanical properties are important factors in evaluating the characteristics of plastic materials. For this reason, we offer a diversified range of instruments designed to perform the main laboratory tests.
Our solutions include abrasion testers, Compression Set testing equipment, universal testing machines, hardness testers, flexometers and impact testers, as well as Izod and Charpy pendulum impact testers and equipment for pipe pressure testing.
Depending on the specific testing requirements, we assist customers in selecting accurate, reliable equipment suited to the activities performed in their laboratories.
Thermal Testing.
valuating the behavior of plastic materials under specific thermal conditions requires specialized equipment capable of ensuring accuracy throughout the different stages of testing.
ATS FAAR supplies equipment for Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Temperature testing, as well as stress-cracking tests, designed for laboratories that need to investigate material properties and behavior in relation to temperature and specific conditions of use.
Equipment selection takes into account the customer’s requirements and the quality control and research activities planned for the laboratory.
Flammability Testing.
Our range of equipment for the plastics industry also includes instruments for flammability testing, used to analyze material behavior under specific test conditions.
We supply equipment for determining the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), performing small-flame tests and conducting Glow-Wire Tests, identifying the most suitable solutions according to the requirements and characteristics of each testing activity.
Even in this area we pay particular attention to equipment reliability and safety: two essential considerations for ATS FAAR when supplying equipment to industrial laboratories.
