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.

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.

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.

Our service starts by discussing and understanding your problem. We will
help you make the most efficient use of both your research and our testing
services. We will help you to interpret the results and, using appropriate
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.

Product safety:
Relevant safety data and references as well as the possibly necessary warning
labels are to be found in the corresponding safety data sheets.
Health and Safety Information:
Appropriate literature has been assembled which provides information
concerning the health and safety precautions that must be observed when
handling the LANXESS products mentioned in this publication. For materials
mentioned which are not LANXESS products, appropriate industrial hygiene
and other safety precautions recommended by their manufacturers should
be followed. Before working with any of these products, you must read and
become familiar with the available information on their hazards, proper use
and handling. This cannot be overemphasized. Information is available in
