Polymer Chemistry Lab FHNW

We offer synthesis, modification and wet-chemical analyses of plastics, as well as sample preparation and ageing tests.

Our offer

We assist you with the production, adaptation and analysis of polymer samples on a laboratory scale. Sample preparation for further analysis can also be carried out.
