From polymers to packaging, Thermo Scientific instruments help researchers and producers in the plastics industry improve quality in their products and process.

• Our premier viscometers, rheometers and spectrometers help characterize polymers during the research phase.
• Our laboratory and twin-screw extrusion systems compound small quantities of plastics for pilot production.
• Our non-contact gauges accurately measure the thickness of plastic films during production.
• Our handheld XRF analyzers provide on-the-spot elemental analysis of incoming raw material and of finished product, ensuring regulatory compliance.
