Main activity
In addition to quality monitoring of thermosets, the competence field K1b deals with technological-mechanical standard tests.
Current focal points of activity are:
- Lifetime analysis of plastic pipes under creep internal pressure loadings
- Long-term thermal behavior of electrical insulation materials
- Time- and temperature-dependent behavior of plastics
- Compression-deformation behavior of elastomeric sealing elements in long-term tests
- Mechanical damage behavior of components made of composite materials under cyclic loading
- Aging tests due to artificial and natural weathering
- Fire behavior according to DIN 4102-1 / B2
- Use of plastics and composites for automotive applications
- Determination of the electrical properties of plastics and composites
- Testing of composite materials consisting of plastics and concrete
Recognized testing laboratory for quality control of thermosets
- Industrial Association of Reinforced Plastics e.V. (AVK)
