At the headquarters in Kaufbeuren (southern Germany), we operate a compound-R&D center with extensive equipment. In addition, a number of methods for testing and analytics of thermoplastic compounds are available.

• Theysohn twin screw extruder, 20 mm, L / D 40
• Engel “e-motion 200H200W / 100Combi”, fully electric injection molding machine, 1000 kN clamping force
• Zwick automated tensile testing
• Zwick, impact test unnotched/notched
• MVR melt index measuring device
• Polymer analytics with GPC (gel permeation chromatography), DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), FT-IR (Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy)
• Polymaterials “X-Plorator^®” – High Throughput Screening System (HTS) using design-of-experiments software and methods of artificial intelligence
