Chemistry & Materials
Thorough knowledge of material properties enables the selection of optimal materials to ensure maintained performance during the whole product life
An optimal material is processable, durable in operation and meets application requirements, to the right cost. The composition that gives desired physical properties, how production line parameters impact these properties and the effect of the surrounding environment on material properties over time are some of the aspects that are critical to ensure high quality in products.
We are a team of more than 15 highly skilled experts within chemistry and materials, with long experience from working together with various industries to solve materials-related challenges, ranging from unexpected failures to selection of materials and qualification of new suppliers. Our chemistry and materials laboratory is equipped with a broad range of state-of-the-art analytical instruments that provides great flexibility and capability to support in R&D and technical investigations.
We can support in
- Material selection
- Material characterization
- Aging characteristics and lifetime estimation of materials
- Compatibility testing
- Material and chemical composition, trace analysis and impurities detection
- Process and manufacturing evaluation from a material perspective
- Root cause analysis and trouble shooting
- Corrosion evaluation and surface protection
- Environmental impact & Chemical legislation
- Washdown testing of products and components used in Food & Beverage industry

Electrical Testing & Experiments
At the core of many high-voltage solutions lies rock-solid performance of electrical devices. The ability to test the behavior of materials, components and products in a range of scenarios is a corner stone in product management.
Development of new products requires characterization of both conducting and insulating materials, as well as a range of tests on prototype components and products. Introduction of new products to the market often requires testing that comply with international standards, conducted by an accredited laboratory, to get necessary certificates. We have world-class resources to support with electrical testing and experiments.
We can support in
- Certification tests (IEC) for selected products
- Type tests & Acceptance tests
- Over-voltage tests
- Temperature-rise tests
- Functionality & Development tests
- R&D testing and measurements
- Testing of prototypes and new products
- Partial discharge measurements
