The selection of the appropriate material has a major importance with regard to the product development process. An optimum compromise has to be made out of a huge number of different materials with different modifications of various manufacturers and with regard to the tightrope walk between economical and technical requirements.
Due to many favourable characteristics plastics replace other materials e.g. metals and ceramics in many applications. These characteristics are among others their small weight, their variability in form and function, their corrosion resistance and their economy. Furthermore plastic-specific processing techniques permit a technically perfectly manufacture of complicated and complex designed plastic parts in a few steps.
Our specialists for the material selection are qualified engineers in plastics technology. They have an extremely well knowledge about the methods and test procedures for the ascertainment of laboratory and trial material parameters as well as about their interpretation with regard to the later operating conditions of the product.
Beside a manufacturer independent and systematic material selection in compliance with the material particularities as well as with their dependence on the operating time, sample or component temperature and media influence, our experts also stand by for the analysis of damages.
