RESEARCH-
INFRASTRUCTURE

We get to the heart of the matters.

Our research is highly application and product oriented. Together with project partners and customers, we dedicate ourselves to the detailed analysis of surfaces and processes in order to optimize and further develop them in a targeted manner.

ANALYTICS

Due to the available analytical equipment, we are able to examine new developments and optimizations in the field of coating and process technology efficiently and promptly with regard to physical and chemical properties. Thus, the topography, roughness, abrasion resistance and hardness of surfaces can be analyzed and the layer structure, layer thickness and layer composition as well as the porosity and electrochemical behavior can be investigated.

The following analyzers are available.

  • Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)
  • Micro-/nano-mechanical measuring device (MCT)
  • X-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF)
  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
  • Digital microscope
  • Calotte grinder
  • Residual Gas Analyzer (RGA)
  • Thermal diffusivity test bench
  • Rockwell penetrant test

OPERATIONAL TEST BENCHES

Mapping processes as realistically as possible in order to be able to test new developments and optimizations in the process-related environment is the basis of our application-oriented research.

In the course of this, the following operational test stands were set up:

  • Demolding force measurement / adhesive force analysis
  • Emission measurement
  • Wear measurement in the injection mold
  • Corrosion in the injection molding process
  • Friction test bench, tribology measurements
  • Index abrasion measurement
  • Indexed thermal conductivity measurement
betriebspruefstaende

COATING SYSTEMS

Five CVD hot-wall reactors can be used to apply functional coatings to substrates of various sizes. Metal-organic precursor compounds are used in this process, which enable coating at temperatures below 500°C. A microwave source is available for plasma-based “remote” cleaning and coating processes.

With the coatings deposited at our company, different functionalities can be achieved on the substrate surfaces:

  • Thermal barrier coatings
  • Improvement of the demolding of injection molded components
  • Coating reduction
  • Corrosion protection
  • Wear-resistant coatings
  • Metallic thin films
  • Tribological coatings

I appreciate the KIMW because of the high practical relevance of the content. As a manufacturing, medium-sized company, we need concretely effective information and training to increase our productivity, not outlooks on theoretically possible technologies from Silicon Valley.

CONTRACT RESEARCH EXPERIENCE THAT PAYS OFF

With more than 30 years of practical experience and know-how in the plastics industry, we see ourselves as an ideal partner in the field of contract research. The goal-oriented and above all practice-oriented execution of R&D projects for profitable solutions and implementations. From the idea to practical implementation is our claim.
