Service Overview
Service Overview
Reverse engineering is the process of detailed laboratory deconstruction of a material
If you have a sample of a foreign equivalent or a competitor’s part that performs better than yours, we conduct a full chemical and physical analysis to reconstruct its formulation
For whom:
Companies pursuing import substitution, manufacturers seeking to outperform competitors, and new-product developers
Service Formats:
Complex multi-component parts, multilayer films, and technical products made from engineering plastics
What We Determine
Polymer Identification
Identification of the base polymer type (PP, PE, PA, ABS, PC, etc.) and its grade
Filler Analysis
Determination of the type and percentage of reinforcing materials such as glass fiber, talc, chalk, and carbon fiber
Additive Package Decoding
Detection and concentration assessment of UV stabilizers, flame retardants, plasticizers, and processing additives
Molecular Characteristics
Determination of molecular-weight distribution and the material’s thermal history
Methodology and Standards
The analysis process is carried out step by step using high-precision methods
Thermal Analysis
For determining melting points, degradation behavior, and inorganic filler content
FTIR Spectroscopy
For identifying chemical bonds and determining polymer type
Microscopy
For studying material structure and component distribution
ISO 11357 ISO 11358
Compliance with DSC and TGA methods
Equipment
The laboratory is equipped with modern instrumentation
-
Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)
-
Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA)
-
FTIR Spectrometer
-
Equipment for microsection preparation and optical analysis
Client Outcomes
Technical Profile of the Reference Product
A complete list of components and their proportions in the sample
Reproduction Recommendations
We identify the closest available grades of raw materials and additives on your market
Improvement Opportunities
We recommend how to modify the formulation to make the product stronger, lighter, or more cost-effective than the original
