Cases

Case 1

Ranking of life time performance in Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance of Polyethylene

A simple and robust tensile test, (ISO 18488:2015) taking about 30’ benchmarks ESCR performance. In current standards these ESCR tests takes from months to years.

Case 2

Fracture of support plates in construction : root causes

Fracture of support plates in construction : root causes

With a limited set of characterisation methods, we were able to determine the root cause of fracture of support plates at our client.

Case 3

Impact toughness concept for PP rubber blends – why can we toughen PP below its glass temperature ?

Our adapted VMT model describes the influence of morphology and molecular composition on the ductile/ brittle transition at cold impact in PP rubber compounds.

Case 4

Translucent plastic, what is the role of surface roughness in the Haze of iPP ?

Case 5

How can a we make a plastic application more transparent
