Material technology

Technology Consulting provides consulting services within material technology.

Our deep knowledge on a wide range of materials and their properties makes us a reliable, expert partner in helping you choose the optimal material to maintain performance throughout the expected lifetime of your products or systems.

Selecting the right materials for your needs

At Technology Consulting, our experts with multi-disciplinary competencies within chemistry, mechanics, and electrotechnology, combined with our advanced lab facilities, excel in tackling diverse material challenges across different industries.

We pride ourselves on always providing the best recommendations for choosing the right material based on the customer’s unique needs, for example, quality, processability, scalability, cost, or sustainability. In most industrial applications materials must be processable, scalable, and durable during service – and fulfill requirements – at the right cost for the customer.

We recommend technical solutions that ensure the desired physical, mechanical, or electrical properties, using our in-depth knowledge about how processing parameters, design, and long-term use in various conditions will affect these properties.

Developing new materials

We have the capability of developing new materials and material technologies for different applications. With a state-of-the-art set-up for compounding we can develop innovative new polymer materials on lab scale to help you with your challenges and also support for upscaling.

Alternative solutions: chemical legislation and sustainability

Today, sustainability and circularity are crucial for all industries. We have a deep experience of materials that have a high impact on the environment and chemicals that are hazardous to humans. We possess detailed knowledge of current chemical legislation and sustainability to detect material bans from environmental authorities. We can help you identify alternative materials that both fulfill your demands and comply with the relevant legislation.
