LABORATORY R&D

From the very beginning, in Euroresin, there has always existed a research culture.

Internal work together with external studies in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (UPV), research institutes and technological centres (CDTI), has allowed us to transform new ideas into successful projects.

Internally R&D works are carried out thanks to a highly qualified technical team in our facilities which are equipped with the highest technology. Our laboratory has a surface of 400m2 and it is divided into three different areas: synthesis, analysis and applications.

SYNTHESIS AREA

Área de sintesis

These are the main tasks we carry out in this area of the laboratory.

  • Homologating the quality of new raw materials.
  • Certifying the quality of our current products.
  • Innovation and development of new products.

In order to achieve this, we have 4 reactors and a team of technical professionals who are exclusively dedicated to this area.

ANALYSIS AREA

Our market demand from us that the transformation of a need into something real and valid.

All our devices are at the clients’ disposition in order to constantly satisfying their demands and solving in close collaboration any necessity or technical assistance that may arise:

With the aim of securing and certifying the quality of our resins, we work with a wide range of high-tech analysis devices, such as:

Cromatografía líquida

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)

It measures the molecular weight of the resin’s polymer.

Cromatógrafo de gases (GC)

Gas Chromatography (GC)

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the resin, paint and varnish solvents.

Calorímetro diferencial de barrido

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

It measures the Tg of a product.

Z-Sizer

Z-Sizer

It measures the emulsion’s particle size.

TurbiScan

TurbiScan

It measures the stability of paints, varnishes and emulsions accelerating the ageing process.

Refractómetro

Refractometer

It measures the refraction index.

pH metro

pH meter

APPLICATIONS AREA

Finally, in this area of the laboratory we carry out different tests following the previously established parameters.

Niebla salina

Cyclic corrosion chamber

We study the ageing of our coatings at the toughest environmental conditions.

UV Tunnel

For developing high technology products at radiation drying.

Péndulo de dureza Persoz

Persoz Pendulum.

It is a device used for measuring the hardness of our resins over time.

Color measure

For our clients’ most demanding coatings.

Brightness measure

With it we reach the optimum finish for our clients’ application.

Impacto y doblado

Impact and Folding tests

We study physical-mechanical properties.

Brookfield

Brookfield

It measures resins’ viscosity.

MFFT - Bar

MFFT – Bar

It checks the minimum temperature at which a uniform film can be formed in emulsions.

Dispermat

Dispermat

Extendedor automático

Automatic Extender

Test de rayado

Scratch resistance test
