Testing Expertise for Innovation

Deep-freeze, heating, and weathering chambers next to shear benches, combustion chambers, and microscopes: With a wide range of testing methods, modern analysis methods, and long-standing expertise, the Research + Development Laboratory is an important innovation driver at Schreiner Group. It plays an important role in the development of innovative functional labels and technological solutions.

In the Research + Development Laboratory, sophisticated testing services are performed that satisfy the exacting demands of customers from sectors such as pharma, automotive, and general industrials. The diversity of available testing equipment enables the evaluation of all relevant characteristics of materials and functional elements under realistic conditions. Especially important is the compliant determination of adhesive properties according to FINAT standards supported by state-of-the-art measuring technology in a compliant air-conditioned laboratory facility.

Weathering Chamber: In a weathering chamber, materials are exposed to controlled UV radiation, moisture, and temperature in order to evaluate their long-term durability. Aging effects and material-related technical boundaries can reliably be determined in that way.

Realistic Conditions

Services range from mechanical scratch and abrasion resistance tests to media resistance investigations concerning liquids from pharmaceutical and automotive applications. Alternating climate tests, UV weathering, or deep-freeze conditions down to -196 °C enable realistic load simulations and create a valid basis for evaluating functional materials and thus for high-tech labels. Specific testing equipment for pressure compensation seals as well as tests for flame retardancy and technical cleanliness complement the range of available tests.

Digital Microscope: With high-resolution digital microscopes, employees can examine materials and labels at a level of detail that makes even smallest printing features such as security elements visible. In addition, quality inspections and defect analyses can be reliably performed.

Peel Adhesion Measurement: Peel adhesion measurements reliably determine the adhesive performance on various substrates. In that way, they deliver reproducible results for qualifying materials and evaluating the mechanical resilience of functional labels.

In-Depth Analysis

Analytical methods such as IR and UV/ VIS spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, or contact angle measurements enable a more in-depth characterization of materials and surfaces. Additionally, for use cases in drug protection, measuring devices are available that enable tracking of the time-dependent increase of the oxygen concentration in pharma containers. This combination of modern testing methods and analytical procedures makes it possible to systematically drive material and technology innovations and to support customers in complex questions with solid professional expertise.

PCS Measuring Device: Measuring devices for pressure compensation seals check whether the specified ventilation airflow rates are being achieved. In addition, specialized devices can be used to determine whether the membrane is impermeable to liquids.
