Laboratory
Scanfill has a very well equipped and modern laboratory. We have access to a number of tools that can help the customer with the design and manufacture of their product.
We can cater for the customer’s requirements both in terms of form and color, and also the appropriate sealing properties according to the customer’s unique needs.

By putting pressure on test specimens with certain power under a special amount of time, we can test the flexural and tensile...
Color measurement
To guarantee a thorough measuring of all colors, we use a spectrophotometer. This equipment measures according to...
Charpy (Impact strength)
To measure how impact resistant a material is, the test specimen is hit by a pendulum, where the impact resistance is measured...
Melting index (MFI/MFR)
The most frequently used method of measuring the flow ability of a material is the melting index. The material is melted...
Light-microscope
In order to watch and analyze a material deeply, we use a light-microscope where we zoom in on surfaces and cross sections...
FTIR
With FTIR you are able to show what polymers, reinforcements and additives are used in a material - like the “fingerprints”...
DSC
The crystallization temperature (Tc) and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of a material can be measured by a DSC-equipment...
