Invisible yet omnipresent: Chemical materials and formulations form the basis of numerous products that shape our everyday lives and modern industrial developments. They provide materials with specific properties, enable new functionalities and create solutions for demanding applications. From the development of new polymers and innovative coatings to advanced material systems, the quality of the raw materials used plays a decisive role in the properties, safety and sustainability of future products.
Our testing services cover, among others, polymers, plastics, elastomers, polymer dispersions, resins, plasticisers, additives, coating materials, adhesives, leather and textile auxiliaries, functional coatings as well as other chemical raw materials and intermediates. These materials are used, for example, in plastics processing, coating technology, the adhesive industry and the development of innovative material systems. Their chemical composition, purity and material properties must be assessed and verified through reliable analytical methods and targeted testing procedures.
FILK's accredited testing laboratory supports manufacturers, raw material producers, suppliers and users from the chemical industry with a comprehensive portfolio of testing services for chemical products, polymeric materials and material-based systems. By combining expertise in materials science with many years of testing experience, we support our customers in the characterisation of raw materials, the development of new materials and the quality assurance of products and processes. With our expertise in polymers, plastics, elastomers, leather, textiles, collagen and functional composite materials, we provide integrated testing and analytical solutions – from raw material evaluation to finished material systems.
A key focus of our testing portfolio is chemical analysis and material characterisation. We investigate raw materials, chemical products and materials with regard to their composition, constituents and chemical properties. This includes the identification of material components, the determination of relevant substances and the analysis of regulated or customer-specific compounds. Our services include, among others, testing for formaldehyde, PFAS, phthalates, heavy metals, azo dyes and other regulated substances in accordance with the REACH Regulation and industry-specific requirements.
Another important area of expertise is the evaluation of emissions and odour properties of materials and chemical products. We analyse volatile components, emissions and odour-relevant characteristics of materials, coatings and composite systems. These tests support the development of low-emission materials, the optimisation of formulations and compliance with legal, normative and customer-specific requirements.
In addition, we perform physical and mechanical testing on polymeric materials, coatings and composite systems to evaluate fundamental material properties and their suitability for specific applications. These tests include, among others, strength, elongation and adhesion properties as well as further material-related parameters that provide valuable insights for the development and optimisation of materials.
