SUPERLAB EQUIPMENT
SURFACE RESISTIVITY
Surface resistivity according to ASTM D 257
During the surface resistivity test of an insulating plastic material, its ability to resist the passage of current on its surface is evaluated.VOLUME RESISTIVITY
Volume resistivity according to ASTM D 257
The volume resistivity test measures the resistance to the flow of current, and therefore the degree of insulation, of a given specimen to which an electric potential is applied on the two opposite sides.
COMPARATIVE TRACKING INDEX (CTI)
Resistance to creeping currents (CTI) is the relative ability of a plastic (electro-insulating) material subjected to electrical stress to resist the formation of creeping currents in the presence of an electrolyte.
“POLYMERS & COMPOSITES”
The educational contribution that cannot be missing in the daily practice of professionals who in various capacities operate in the plastics sector.
The work tells about the world of polymers, the way of producing them and qualifying them, with the ambition of encouraging the development of applications according to the expected performance expectations.
You can learn how to intervene on polymer matrices to adapt them to transformation technologies, with the aim of obtaining qualitatively and commercially competitive products, imposing adequate attention to the effects on the environment in the formulation interventions, while trying at the same time to transfer knowledge and affection for polymeric materials.
