Chemical Analytics and Cleanliness Analysis

The requirements for the technical cleanliness of components are constantly increasing. This is accompanied by increasingly complex requirements for production environments, inspection areas and packaging processes. Cleanliness-compliant equipment and the standard-compliant operation of clean rooms and clean zones, including their regular monitoring, are crucial.

We provide you with comprehensive support in the planning, installation and commissioning of such environments - precisely tailored to your process requirements and local conditions.

Individual concept development
Based on our many years of practical experience and the requirements of VDA 19.2, we work with you to develop a site-specific overall concept. From the analysis and clean design of the packaging process to the creation of a detailed specification sheet for setting up and operating your cleanroom environment.

Technical advice
Our specialists support your project throughout all phases with technical expertise, even across multiple locations.

Your benefits
You benefit from our in-depth know-how and receive an individually tailored, structured concept for implementing your clean zones - including recommendations for setup, operation and continuous monitoring in accordance with current standards and manufacturer requirements.

We test oils and fuels for various physical and chemical characteristics. These include, for example, density, viscosity, water content, neutralization number, purity classes, flash points and much more. We also carry out specialized analyses such as NMR spectroscopy - for example to detect misfuelling or impurities in fuels.

We analyze cooling lubricants, corrosion protection agents, cleaning agents as well as industrial and waste water. We determine complex parameters such as concentration, chloride content and fine contamination, also as part of in-process monitoring.

Our expertise covers organic and inorganic chemistry. Thanks to modern laboratory technology, we can carry out relevant analyses quickly and precisely.

Detailed analyses of the type, origin and quantity of particles are becoming increasingly important for manufacturers, suppliers and cleaning service providers.

The aim of cleanliness testing is therefore the precise detection of particulate contamination on functional surfaces - caused by manufacturing processes or environmental influences.

We offer particle extraction using spraying, rinsing, ultrasound or immersion methods, gravimetric residual dirt determination, light microscopic particle evaluation as well as IR and EDX analysis. Tests are carried out in accordance with VDA 19 / ISO 16232 or manufacturer-specific standards (BMW, Daimler, VW, etc.).

Accredited standard stands Cleanliness analysis

Testing initial samples for compliance with OEM specifications is a key service area. Our engineers develop individual test programs together with the client and evaluate the results.

In the event of deviations, we provide well-founded recommendations for optimizing processes or components.

Testing options:
 

• Determination of mechanical parameters (e.g. tensile/bending strength, hardness, etc.)
• Testing for media and ageing resistance
• Thermal analysis (TGA, DSC)
• IR spectroscopy
• Density determination
