Notice as of Nov. 1, 2023

We’re changing locations over the next couple of month so we’ve removed the ISO banner from the site. Once moved, we will have to be re-assessed and until that happens, we don’t want to mislead anyone.

Mechanical Testing, Thermoconductivity, and Particule Size

We apologize, but digging out from our ice storm, as our suppliers also dug out, meant updating this totally slipped our mind. We’ll continue talking about testing and materials next time. This time I want to share a bit of news about VTC expanding our capabilities. We obtained a Waters Thermal Conductivity Analysis, an Instron Universal Tester, and a particle size analyzer. It’ll take a bit to get these up and running, especially since we operate under ISO 17025 conditions, but we are excited to have more ways to help our customers understand their material issues.

We still offer thermal analysis (DSC, TGA, STA, TMA, DMA), rheology (Steady and oscillatory) hyphenated techniques (UV - DSC. DMA, and rheology; TGA or STA-FTIR, TGA-GCMS), GCMS and FTIR. And consulting with friendly folks in North Texas.
