Characterization methods for adhesives and glues
Norlab offers solutions for the formulation optimization of greener, solvent-free adhesives and glues.

Determination of pore volume and pore size distribution by mercury porosimetry
Mercury porosimetry is capable of analyzing a very broad range of pore sizes reaching from 3 nm up to 950 µm.

Adsorption of gas mixtures and gas/vapor systems: breakthrough curves
Investigation experiments of practically relevant separation processes by standard gas sorption instruments for pore size analysis are limited and the dynamic flow method needs to be applied.

Chemisorption and Temperature Programmed Reactions (TPX)
The chemisorption analysis is specially used to characterize catalysts. The most crucial point is to determine the chemically active part of the surface area. To determine the active surface area a measuring gas is used, which is able to strongly chemisorb at the active sites.

Determination of zeta potential in concentrated dispersions by electroacoustic spectrometry
The electroacoustic method is using the measured colloidal vibration current (CVI) to calculate the zeta potential of a dispersion.

Determination of tap density and bulk density of powders
Measuring instruments for the determination of tap densities are called tap volumeter, such as the BeDensi T series.

Determination of particle size using static light scattering
The particle size distribution as a parameter to specify a powder or dispersion plays a central role in many applications. Examples are construction material (sands, cements), lime stones, ceramics, colored pigments, fertilizers, emulsions and may more.

Determination of particle size in concentrated dispersions by acoustic spectrometry
Acoustic spectrometry is an ideal technique to analyze particle size distribution and state of agglomeration in concentrated suspensions like ceramic slurries, cements or paints, even paste-like. The size range extends from nano-sized to the upper micro-size range.

Determination of particle size using dynamic light scattering
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a technique to measure particle size distribution of nano- and submicrosized particles, which is used primarily in pharmaceutical and biochemical industry.

Determination of particle size and shape by image analysis
Most particle size measurement methods are based on the assumption of spherical shaped particles. This hypothesis leads to significant errors in the analysis if the particles are flake or rod-shaped. Especially for such highly form-anisotropic particles, image analysis methods provides an excellent alternative for the determination of tailor-made size specifications.
