Markets Served

Polymer Char provides to the top polyolefin research laboratories worldwide, the leading petrochemical firms, and prestigious R&D Institutes or universities from all around the world. Its instruments are present in over 20 countries, within the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Major Products/Services

The company offers the broadest range of instruments and analytical services for polyolefin characterization, highlighting:

• GPC-IR: the new generation of high temperature GPC, providing key-benefits, such as a separate column oven compartment, an automated in-line filtration, no solvent handling, no vials transfer, fully automated sample preparation, and multiple detectors (concentration and composition by IR4 or IR5 MCT, light scattering, and viscometer).

• GPC One Software: the most modern and comprehensive software platform for high temperature GPC calculations.

• CRYSTEX: automated and highly precise Xylene Solubles measurement with no solvents handling, including sample preparation and final cleaning.

• HT-HPLC: new developments in separation technology for low crystallinity or amorphous polyolefins, such as TG-IC (thermal gradient interaction chromatography), solvent gradient IC, or 2 dimensional chromatography (HPLC × SEC).

Facilities

Polymer Char is headquartered in the Valencia Technology Park of Spain, boasting a new 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art complex that includes its corporate offices, production factilities, and one of the most modern polyolefin R&D laboratories in the world. Together with its official distributors, the company supplies, trains, and supports customers worldwide.
