Physical analysis: Documenting the invisible

We get to the core with capability. Because the effectiveness of a pigment in paints, plastics or spun fibers is determined decisively by particle geometry, size, surface area and distribution in the matrix, the staff of the Laboratory for Physical Analysis measure all relevant parameters precisely. This guarantees best possible pigments and extenders, for perfect products.

The analytical methods which we use can also be applied to other systems and materials. We would be pleased to develop customized solutions for your specific problems.
