Total control of the production chain from dust to the semi-finished product makes for high quality materials. Our in-house laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allows us to achieve high standards of measurement and fast and highly reliable processes.
In particular, the laboratory’s equipment fleet includes:
-
Analytical scale:
Allows density determination (Standard Specific Gravity) -
Shore-A Durometer:
Allows determination of surface hardness on a Shore-A scale -
Shore-D Durometer:
Determination of surface hardness on the Shore-D scale -
IRHD Micro Durometer:
Determination of the IRHD hardness of components with complex shapes and small dimensions -
Ball Indentation Hardness Durometer:
Determination of the hardness of plastic materials by means of a ball indenter subjected to a load.
