Solutions for the Industry
Characterization and Validation
Building up the relationship between composition, structure, and properties has been one of our main strengths since CellMat was born. We have equipped our labs with a wide variety of techniques to fully characterize any foamed product. The main components of any polymeric foam can be analyzed:
Foam properties
Polymer Phase
Using reverse engineering we can learn about the composition, thermal properties, and main features of the raw polymer.
Gas Phase
This component is studied by determining parameters such as solubility and diffusivity of gases in the polymer matrix or gas phase composition inside the cells.
Cellular Structure
Its analysis allows the quantification of parameters such as the cell size, the open cell content, the cell wall thickness, and the mass fraction in the struts that are key to understanding and modeling the performance of the foam.
Physical Properties
We are prepared to test thermal properties , mechanical, acoustic properties, and fire resistance among others (flame retardancy and LOI)
