Material testing for various application areas

Elastocon offers a wide range of equipment for several application areas within material testing. Here you can find information about equipment for some specific applications, such as battery testing and plastic recycling.

Equipment for battery testing

Batteries really are the future of energy storage – and to ensure they can perform safely and reliably, they need to be tested.

Elastocon offers Binder's battery test chambers and C-Therm Trident for measuring the thermal conductivity of batteries.

Equipment for testing recycled plastics

Plastic recycling is the processing of plastic waste into other products. Almost all plastic recycling is mechanical by melting and reforming plastic into other items. This can cause polymer degradation at the molecular level and requires the waste to be sorted by colour and polymer type before processing, which is complicated and expensive.

Through material analysis and other testing of recycled plastic, it is ensured, among other things, that the right material has been delivered, what kind of plastic is in the recycled material, what the plastic contains, and the plastic's melting point.

Elastocon offers different types of equipment for testing recycled plastics: identiPol QA2 is used for quality control, and for general material analysis PerkinElmer has instruments for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Tensile testers, melt index and impact testers for plastics are other types of equipment that we offer from Tinius Olsen.
