Innovation through research

Our research and development laboratory is the beating heart of innovation at A.D. Compound. The R&D department works daily on two fronts: the development of new products to expand the over 2000 formulations already in our catalog and the improvement of company performance with a view to Industry 4.0.

Our laboratory

Operating 24/7, our laboratory performs analysis of raw material samples for approval, mixtures loaded in silos and finished products.

Chemical Analysis

MFI, density, ash content and composition tests to characterize each formulation.

Mechanical Tests

Tensile, flexural, Izod/Charpy impact and Shore hardness testing to ensure optimal performance.

Thermal Analysis

DSC, HDT and Vicat to study the thermal behavior of materials.

Rheological Characterization

MFI and viscosity to optimize the processability of compounds.

Colorimetry

Color measurement and control with spectrophotometer for chromatic precision.

Quality Control

Aging tests, UV resistance and validation according to REACH and RoHS regulations.

Research and development

We develop original software to monitor the production process in real time, from formula composition to finished compound.
