The laboratories\u2019 range of services extends from functional testing to analytics. Environmental simulations such as UV weathering and numerous other tests enable the simulation of long-term environmental effects, whereas tests of materials and products serve to investigate durability or mechanical properties such as adhesion or flammability. In addition, the functionality of products and materials can be tested in the laboratory.<\/p>\n

It is the extensive array of analytics equipment that makes Schreiner Group stand out. Medium-sized companies rarely have such opportunities in-house. \u201cFor us, reliable analytics is the basis for every product development,\u201d explains the head of R&D. \u201cWe select the suitable equipment, methods, and technologies according to the questions that need to be answered.\u201d Schreiner Group uses infrared and UV spectroscopy that serves to determine the molecular structure of materials for example, contact angle measurements for surface tension analysis, as well as microscopy and scanning electron microscopy for surface investigations in the nanometer range.<\/p>\n

In addition, in-house prototyping enables the professional fabrication of individual items. These unique specimens not only serve as samples to be shown to customers and trade fair visitors but also as design and functional samples for product development.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10963″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10971″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_single_image image=”10967″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_single_image image=”10965″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]\u201cThe countless combination options of individual tests are our great forte,\u201d says Dr. Jens Vor der Br\u00fcggen. \u201cWe are happy that we can do everything in house because no external laboratory alone can cover such diversity.\u201d That is indispensable for many product qualifications particularly in the pharmaceutical and automotive markets. That is why the wide range of R&D services is tailored to the product and technology portfolio of Schreiner Group and its business units.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”10973″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_single_image image=”10969″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]How Pharma Labels Become Sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\n

The development of sustainable labels is a good example that provides specific insights into the work of the research and development team. \u201cOur objective was to pre-qualify sustainable materials in response to a request by the Schreiner MediPharm business unit,\u201d relates Dr. Vor der Br\u00fcggen. We started by selecting a range of sustainable film materials. Their properties were subsequently compared in various tests and simulations: How much elongation can the materials resist? How do they cope with specific temperatures? How good are ink adhesion and ink durability? All these questions were answered in a large number of tests. Nine materials were identified as suitable. \u201cWe took a selection of those materials to produce further samples for qualification and for display at a trade fair,\u201d explains the head of R&D. \u201cThey met with very favorable customer response. Now we are working on additional material qualifications and on qualifications for use by Schreiner MediPharm customers.\u201d Additional information about sustainable pharma labels can be found on pages 14 and 15.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Next-Generation Pressure Compensation Seals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The research and development team also conducts extensive material and product tests for the Schreiner ProTech business unit. They include the qualification of new membrane materials for use in pressure compensation seals (PCS). A PCS consists of a watertight and dustproof yet air-permeable membrane, enabling air exchange in housings and protecting the electronics against liquid media and dirt. \u201cFor these uses, the materials must be tested for very specific properties. The qualification for new membrane materials involves an extensive product validation program including numerous laboratory tests,\u201d says Dr. Vor der Br\u00fcggen, \u201cincluding airflow and water ingress point combined with climatic storage as well as mechanical and chemical resistance tests. We continuously extend our product validation program and perform product requalification tests at regular intervals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_single_image image=”10975″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
