Ensuring success with products and processes

We offer you an efficient and economical chemical and material service. With a variety of our qualified products and processes, you benefit from our expertise and technological know-how to find a suitable solution to your problems.

Materials science

Materials science

Does your favorite material meet all necessary requirements and can it withstand extreme situations? We will be happy to check this for you. We use a wide range of processes to examine materials for defined parameters and properties and provide comprehensive advice on possible application scenarios and manufacturing techniques.

Auxiliary materials and supplies

Auxiliary materials and supplies

Most auxiliary materials and supplies can be adapted for specific application requirements, e.g. by specific mixing ratios or optimized flow behavior. That is why we not only offer a wide range of qualified auxiliary materials and supplies for the optical and precision mechanical industries, but also customized variants – from special adhesives to immersion oils. The complete, digital documentation from raw material receipt to the finished product, together with our comprehensive test protocols for release, offers you the security for your production or assembly processes.
