Simulation and optimization of injection processes Automobile tests Damage assessment Climatic tests Characterization Training

Damage assessment Through its technical and human potential, the CETIM-CERMAT centre is able to intervene effectively in the sector of failure analysis. When any damage occurs on a plastic part, the approach is as follows: - assessing the cause of the damage - recommending corrective solutions Our means: Chemical analysis Change of state temperatures Kinetics of reactions Identification of organic and mineral products Assessment of thermal and mechanical characteristics Scanning electron microscope examination Viscosity and fluidity measurement Pollution measurement using chromatography Water content of polymers Assessment of mechanical characteristics of polymers and composites Characterization tests on paint Bonding tests, etc.
