Our Nano-Scratch Tester, Nano-Tribometer and Ultra Nano Indentation Tester were especially developed for polymer applications.

In order to characterize the mar resistance for varnish clearcoat, we were involved in two important projects. Now the ASTM standard for mar resistance is validated and the industrial market is using the method for characterization. On our UNHT we added new functionality especially for polymers applications.

We have a good experience in polymer testing about:

  • Minidisk topcoat
  • Scratch resistance and Tribology
  • Automotive Top Coat
  • Mar resistance and viscoelastic propreties
  • Nail Varnish adhesion
  • Adhesion and friction characterization
  • Dynamical Analysis of bulk polymers
  • with the sinus mode analysis
  • .etc
