Impact expands its thermal analysis testing capabilities 

Impact Solutions has expanded its thermal analysis testing capabilities with the purchase of a new Netzsch Polyma DSC214 Differential Scanning Calorimeter and at the same time has broadened its analytical capability with the Purchase of a Nicolet IS10 Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectrometer (FTIR).

The combined techniques provide a powerful analytical suite to help with troubleshooting, polymer recognition and stabilisation.

The new analytical equipment complements Impact’s physical testing facility and greatly expands our capability to meet customers’ needs.
