Equipment

The colorimeter features a C or D illuminant and a 2° observer; it measures the color of a material or food using L*, a*, and b* tristimulus coordinates, allowing objective color comparison.

This machine has a 500 N load cell, which allows determining the mechanical properties of plastic materials according to ASTM D-882, making it possible to determine tensile strength, elongation percentage, and modulus of elasticity through a tensile test. This equipment can also measure the coefficient of friction, providing the static and dynamic coefficient of friction in flexible plastic materials.
