The QA2 is designed to provide unskilled polymer manufacturing and processing staff with a simple tool
to assess the quality and identity of mouldable thermoplastics. The system has been specifically designed to provide a quick assessment of incoming material and its suitability for use on the production line.
This is achieved by the automated comparison of new batches of material against known good batches, which have previously been tested.
New to the QA2 is the optional capability of measuring the flow characteristics of the sample during the moulding stage of the test
There are three ways in which the QA2 system can be used:
Identification - Identifies the type of plastic material the sample,
Confirmation - Confirms that the sample is similar enough to previous tests
Comparison - Compares two grades of material for equivalence and reports on their similarity, used to compare a homopolymer against a copolymer as well as comparing different manufacturers or suppliers
Specifications
Sample size - 20-30mg (one or two plastic granules, plastic film, or a piece from a moulded part)
