ACCREDITED LABORATORY
Plastic products become more and more complex and have to meet increasing quality requirements. We perform the material and part testings according to the actual stan-dards and shipping instructions. Our Accredited Laboratory (D-PL-11280-01-00) off ers the following testings:
• Characterisation and identifi cation• Analytics and structural clarifi cation• Environmental simulations and climatic tests• Application-specifi c testings
To your failure analysis, we provide our wide experience. Concerning testing methods and technologies, we discuss your needs and produce a proposal.
DVS TEST CENTRE
Our DVS Test Centre ensures a high-level training of techni-cians for plastic welding, gluing and laminating. This inclu-des qualifi cation courses and annual examinations. It is held according to the guidelines of the DVS, the German Welding Society:
• Plastic welding according to DVS 2212• Plastic gluing according to DVS 2221 • Plastic laminating according to DVS 2220
This includes courses as part of in-fi rm training, vocational retraining and advanced vocational training.
ADVANCED VOCATIONAL TRAINING
The KUZ is standing for competent technical vocational trai-ning. The portfolio includes all technologies along the value added chain, where KUZ is working with. By meeting your demands, we perform the courses in Leipzig and as in-house training in your company as well. The modularly composed program allows a tailor-made selection and compilation of the content with individual scheduling.

TECHNOLOGIES
Innovations are the driving force for effi ciency and success. As independent research institute, we are your market- oriented partner for ready-to-use developments for the plas-tics industry.
For the implementation of new products and for cooperation projects, our team is on hand with help and advice. Our com-petencies in plastics technologies, our large equipment and long-year experience, we like to make available to you. Our off er covers improvements of a single product and a single processing step and optimization of a whole processing chain as well. Cost reduction, product quality, and process reliability are standing in our focus. In our modern technical centre and laboratories, we are working out the appropriate solution for you.
Concerning the appropriate technology to your product, we provide you our advisory support. Within close collaboration with you, we develop technological solutions including pro-cessing, mould design, and welding.
ENGINEERING
Design and Consulting
Concerning mould design, we are providing advisory support within the fi elds of injection moulding, polyurethane reac-tion injection moulding and thermoforming. Our machinery is available for your developments. By using state-of-the-art production machinery, our competent team develops:
• Moulds for injection and micro injection moulding• Components and modules for micro injection moulding
machines• Special-purpose machines which are meeting complex
requirements for connecting and welding• Fixture construction for special testing tasks
Service
The reliability of your machinery and its readiness for use is crucial. We calibrate your injection moulding machines in the fi eld. An on-line rheometer can fl exible be used. It allows moni-toring directly the melt viscosity during production processes.
MATERIALS
Material Selection Material quality and its selection have a lasting eff ect on the quality of your products and on the stability and effi ciency of your production process as well.
We are providing you the support in material selection and perform the preinvestigations.
Material Development
To special material requirements, we develop tailor-made compounds. Based on model parts and customer‘s moulds, we characterize the material behaviour and analyse manu-facturing defects.
Alternative Materials
To the application areas of renewable raw materials used as fi llers and reinforcements and to the processing via injec-tion moulding, we provide the advice you need.
