​
Our versatile machine configurations support the extrusion of pellet and film batches ranging from 50 g to 10 kg.
Material Characterization
Understand how your material performs before scaling up. We offer core expertise in the mechanical and gas barrier characterization of moisture-sensitive materials, with protocols specifically designed for small batches
(as little as 50 g)​​
​
Our characterization services include:
-
Mechanical testing
-
Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR)
-
Rheological evaluation
-
Moisture absorption
-
Density and physical characterization
-
Processability assessment
-
Comparative benchmarking
