SAES Packaging Lab is designed for comprehensive testing of various materials; from raw materials to laminated structures and final products. Our facilities are capable of assessing thermal-mechanical attributes, surface properties, physico-chemical features, gas barrier capabilities, and more. - Structure analysis of multilayer materials by optical and electronic microscopy - Material permeabilimetry and barrier assessment towards various gas such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture - Characterization of the structure and composition of polymers by thermal analysis (DSC-TGA-MS) or by spectroscopic approach via FTIR and micro-RAMAN - Complete characterization of mechanical bulk properties thanks to dynamometry and dynamic-mechanical analysis - Surface analysis thanks to Profilometry, Atomic Force Microscopy and Nanoindentation - Simulate welding & tacking process and related failure analysis and packaging anomalies - VOC analysis and MAP characterization by Dansensor® & HS-GCMS - Accelerated ageing test with climate chambers and cold room - Full rheological characterization of inks/varnishes, formulations and pastes
