Not just measuring – but interpreting, evaluating and enabling decisions
Reliable testing. Clear interpretation. Better decisions.
The quality of recycled plastics can only be reliably assessed through structured material analysis.
plastship provides laboratory services that not only generate data, but interpret results in an application-specific context and make them usable for decision-making.
Successful use of recyclates requires reliable data – not only in data sheets, but in real applications.
We analyse materials across key quality dimensions: structured, reproducible and application-driven.
We combine in-house expertise with standardised procedures (including PlastCert) to create reliable decision-making foundations for procurement, development and quality assurance.
Raw measurement data alone is not sufficient to assess material suitability.
Only through structured analysis, interpretation and comparability do results become a reliable basis for:
Physical properties (with PlastCert)
Key material parameters for assessing processability, consistency and quality.
Typical tests:
▪️MFR / MFI (melt flow index)
▪️density
▪️moisture content
▪️ash content
▪️bulk density
Benefits:
▪️comparison of batches and materials
▪️assessment of processability
▪️validation of data sheet values
Mechanical properties (with PlastCert)
Assessment of mechanical performance and durability.
Typical tests:
▪️injection moulding of ISO specimens
▪️tensile testing
▪️Charpy impact strength
▪️flexural testing
Benefits:
▪️evaluation of strength and toughness
▪️comparison with virgin materials
▪️basis for approvals
Multifactorial properties / odour (with PlastCert)
Holistic evaluation of material quality, especially for sensitive applications.
Typical tests:
▪️sensory odour evaluation
▪️emission analysis
▪️contamination assessment
Benefits:
▪️evaluation of suitability for specific applications
▪️reduction of risks in serial production
▪️complementing standard material parameters
Optical properties
Analysis of visual appearance and surface quality.
Typical tests:
▪️colour measurement
▪️opacity
▪️defect analysis
▪️surface evaluation
Polymer composition
Analysis of material composition.
Typical tests:
▪️polymer identification
▪️detection of foreign polymers
▪️analysis of blends
Benefits:
▪️transparency of feedstocks
▪️evaluation of purity and consistency
▪️basis for quality control
