From raw materials to processing testing -

we are your competent partner

all of our capacity to serve our customers

As well as our comprehensive range of standardized laboratory procedures,

we also offer our customers use of the facilities of the LANXESS Technical

Center. These facilities include a 90-liter internal mixer, an extruder for

continuous UHF and salt bath vulcanization of profiles and injection molding

machines.

High performance equipment managed

by highly specialized experts

Our team of specially trained mixing and testing technicians will ensure that

the tests commissioned are performed in a reproducible and expert manner.

Our experienced physicists, chemists, engineers and rubber technologists will

advise you on the most appropriate test and measurement methods for your

particular needs. On request, we will of course also support our customers in

evaluating and interpreting the measurement data.

In addition to the standardized characterization of polymers, compounds and

vulcanizates, we offer more advanced physical analysis of polymer materials

with the aim of establishing a quantitative, empirical link between the techno-

logical properties and structural parameters of polymers and compounds. In

this way, we create a sound basis for targeted development and optimization.

High international quality standards

Not only does LANXESS Polymer Testing possess a wide range of testing

capabilities, it also has the necessary expertise to describe in detail and to

interpret measurement results in the context of physical observations.

Based on DIN EN ISO 9001 certification, all our measurements and analy-

ses meet the high international quality standards recognized within the

rubber industry and the stringent guidelines of an extremely wide range of

other industries.

These include methods for making and handling compounds (1–3), followed

by the various test procedures (4–6). The polymer physics service completes

our portfolio of competences (7).

The ingredients

A representative selection of the ingredients typically used in rubber com-

pounds is in stock; specialties can be introduced into studies as required.

All materials are stored under proper storage conditions and their shelf life

is always complied with.

A LIMS database monitoring product specifications, safety regulations, stock

inventory and lot number tracking is the basis of reliable lab studies.

The mixing equipment

We utilize a variety of mixing devices. For the small lab size we use mixers

ranging from 15 ml twin screw Microcompounder to 85 ml and 350 ml tan-

gential lab mixers. The mid range is covered by Werner & Pfleiderer GK 1.5E

and GK5E intermeshing mixers.

For real sized compounds we utilize the WP GK90E with a batch volume suf-

ficient for processing trials.

For all mixer sizes suitable mills for finishing are attached.

Rheological testing

From Mooney viscosity across capillary rheology to various viscoelastic test

procedures we offer a complete range of test procedures to characterize the

flow behavior of polymers and compounds.

Vulcanization is measured by Moving Die Rheometer (MDR) and Rubber

Process Analyzer (RPA) as required.

vulcanization / sample preparation

Vulcanization of slabs is typically done in anti-adhesive coated aluminum

molds following the results of the MDR curemeter. The extra time required to

heat up the mold and the slabs depending on their thickness is automatically

taken into regard.

n Compression molding of rubber ballsn Automated MDR measurements

n Characterization of processing and vulcanization behavior

State of the art procedures

The testing of basics such as hardness, tensile strength and rebound

resilience and the various application related physical testing procedures are

performed following commonly accepted international standards.

Most test instruments are equipped with autoloader and electronic data

connection to the Lab Information Management System to offer cost efficient

testing.

n Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA)

n 3-D dumbbell



Quality Management System

All processing and test procedures are regularly checked by a strict calibra-

tion and maintenance scheme to assure reproducibility and reliability

following the guidelines of our Quality Management System according to

ISO 9001/2008.

Lab Information Management System

From ideas, materials and recipes to solutions:

The compounder has to make his choice out of a variety of ingredients, mixing

devices and mixing strategies, vulcanization processes and finally test

templates to answer his questions or to fulfill a specification.

With the data input into the Lab Information Management System the lab

study begins with weighing of ingredients, mixing and sample preparation.

All work steps are supported by online or printed instructions to guide the

technicians doing the job.

Raw data and results together with mixer and test graphs are collected,

preferably online in order to avoid reading and retyping errors and to achieve

cost efficient testing.

The results are presented in a result database for evaluation and retrieval.

Finally the chemist receives the response to his ideas and concepts in

electronic form, well organized and documented.

modelling techniques establish a link between the molecular structure

and the macroscopic characteristics of the polymers, their compounds

and vulcanizates.

e.g. Master curve Technique

The master curve technique establishes a relationship between macro and

microscopic material properties. Based on the time-temperature equivalence,

multiple time- or frequency-dependent measurements of dynamic-mechanical

moduli can be combined in one master curve. This enables the relatively small

frequency range provided by the testing equipment to be expanded by up to

20 decades. This achieves a full characterisation of the dynamic-mechanical

polymer properties from the viscous flow region to the glassy state. More-

over, the combination of dynamic-mechanical analysis with physical models

of polymer (e.g. Rouse, Reptation or double Reptation model) provides a

quantitative characterisation of molecular properties with various applications.

Some examples are: the analysis of chemical and physical crosslinking, the

molecular mass distribution or the branching structure.

e.g. amplitude dependent characterization

The physical properties of filled elastomer components change drastically due

to the deformation history. A strain dependent characterization of compounds

and vulcanizates is thus of great importance. The characterization is provided

by an amplitude dependent measurement of the dynamic moduli of shear or

elasticity. The results can be modelled by virtue of mechanically unstable filler-

filler or filler-polymer interactions..

e.g. Non-linear mechanical properties

Elastomer vulcanizates show a strong non-linear stress-strain behaviour. This

can be used, in combination with suitable modelling techniques, to analyse

the crosslinking density or the reinforcement potential of a filler component.

The non-linear properties are also of importance for predicting dynamic crack

propagation or the useful lifetime. An efficient treatment of these kinds of

questions is provided by the Tear-Analyser, an instrument developed especially

for this purpose.
