Plastic analyses

Nolab offers advanced plastic analysis that helps you identify material types, uncover quality deviations and find the cause of defects or damage. Using modern laboratory technology, we map polymer structure, additives, contaminants and signs of aging. We analyze both finished components and raw materials such as plastic granules, giving you valuable insight into the entire value chain – from purchasing and production to the finished product. This insight is crucial in everything from product development and quality control to complaint handling and material selection.

This insight is crucial in everything from product development and quality control to complaint handling and material selection. We assist customers in industry, manufacturing, aquaculture and other sectors that need documentation, traceability or technical clarification in connection with plastic materials.

Typical analyses include:

  • FTIR spectroscopy for polymer identification
  • Visual and microscopic examination
  • Comparison with reference samples and plastic types
  • Moisture measurement and assessment of the material's condition

Please contact us if you have unknown material, suspect manufacturing defects, or want to document compliance with specifications.
