Testing services / Density determination of plastics and polymers

Density determination of plastics and polymers

In this analysis, the density of plastics and polymers is determined by the immersion method specified in part A of the ISO 1183-1 standard.

The method is suitable for plastic granulates and for products and materials delivered as sheets that can be cut into the right shape in the lab. If the sample is delivered as granulates, the test objects are prepared in the lab by injection molding. The price includes sample preparation.
