We use our equipment to determine material and component-specific properties. This enables us not only to handle your standard tasks, but also to provide you with technical support to improve your results and answer unconventional questions. The close integration with the other specialist departments at KIMW guarantees you the highest level of expertise, practical complete solutions and the best possible service.

In doing so, we focus our actions on

• Speed, flexibility and cost awareness: We create our own digital solutions to minimize administrative activities.
• Customer success is our goal: we use/optimize lean, robust, effective processes and are personally available to you at all times.
• We act sustainably: We actively protect the environment and the climate and our social and ecological standards are of the highest level.

What makes us special for you

• Everything from a single source – from subcontracting to in-house specimen production
• Expert advice and support (usually free of charge!)
• Failure analysis combined with process knowledge
• Direct interaction with OEMs, active DIN membership in various committees
• Development of customer-specific test plans and new tests
• In-house R&D activities for the further development of test methods

We are at your disposal as a competent and reliable partner for your testing needs. We determine the characteristic values of thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers as well as coatings according to the specifications of a wide range of industries. From automotive to medical to optics, we support you in all areas.

Find our test methods for materials testing and analysis methods for materials and failure analysis. Filter all tests offered in our test overview by industry and test category or enter your keyword (OEM, standard, title, etc.) in the search.

We are flexibly accredited for the majority of tests and have special OEM certifications or can offer you these accredited as a subcontractor.

For many tests, we also offer our own production of test specimens and reference materials for quality assurance.

You can use our online configurator to create your own quotation for all standards with a quotation link and thus obtain discounts.

Finding solutions to a problem within a plastics processing procedure requires a broad knowledge of the available analysis methods, their significance and limitations. This requires a wide range of expertise in different domains. In materials science, process technology, physics, organic and analytical chemistry, among others.

For use in demanding and high-quality applications, it is necessary to use well-qualified material to ensure consistent component quality.

Read here how we can support you in this area.

In addition to testing services, we also offer plastics databases for various analysis methods. Depending on the method, the databases contain analysis data for more than 1000 current common plastics, including biomaterials and materials for 3D printing. These databases can be obtained exclusively from our cooperation partners.

• Further information on the FTIR and Raman spectroscopy database can be found at Bruker Optics
• Further information on the DSC database can be found at Netzsch Gerätebau

Interlaboratory tests make the significance of test methods measurable – and show how reliable analytics really are. In the interplay of material knowledge, process understanding and analytical depth, they provide a sound basis for continuous quality and optimization. We have been offering our proficiency tests in cooperation with QD Labs since 2024.
