Expert opinions
We do not doubt the reliability of their results
We cooperate with LOTRIČ laboratory in the field of testing and analysis of physical properties of samples. They occasionally perform mechanical testing such as tensile strength, microscopic testing of surfaces and breaks as well as environmental testing. Our products are certified by our partners, confirming that they meet standard requirements and are suitable for the market. LOTRIČ metrology group are known for their amazing expertise in issuiing certificates, counselling, and issuing statements while also being very responsive and competitively priced. They ensure accreditation of their services by regular inter-laboratory comparison therefore we do not doubt their results and never feel the need to verify them.

Speed and proximity does matter
We cooperate with LOTRIČ Metrology in the area of polymer testing, mostly doing analysis of raw materials. In some cases, the raw materials need to be checked to eliminate other causes in case of problems during production. The inconsistencies found in raw materials can be used as basis for claiming warranty. The proximity of the laboratory and their fast response time help to conduct the analysis in the shortest time possible. Immediately after testing we are informed of the results by electronically signed certificates, sent via e-mail.

A document to provide your quality
After performing the calibration, testing, control and qualification procedures in the LOTRIČ Metrology Group, you will receive an approved certificate, which clearly states all the parameters that are important to your clients and enables you to prove and guarantee your quality. We are recognised as a reference partner that has been working in the field of calibrations, testing, inspection and qualifications for decades. Simultaneously with the development of services, we also developed a certificate based on the wishes, needs and in-depth cooperation of our partners.
Testing of plastic and rubber products
Your word has weight. In order for the products and raw materials to meet specifications, LOTRIČ Metrology offers a complete range of testing. Their service is used by leading manufacturers of polymers in Slovenia.
The right information helps you with troubleshooting and upgrading your product
Analysis of fractures and defects in products
Analysis of fractures and defects in the product is an important discipline in the manufacturing industry and is used in the development of new products and in the improvement of existing products. Complex problems on the production line are not easily solved. In such cases, often the companies do not have enough resources, knowledge and analytical methods to ensure a comprehensive approach to the problem. LOTRIČ Metrology laboratories are your partner in problem solving, using chemical and mechanical methods in the field of polymer technology and metallurgical sciences.
Testing the properties of materials
Changes in the properties of ABS materials
With the method of artificial aging, we detect changes in the properties of ABS materials.
By testing materials, even in the product manufacturing phase, many problems can be avoided in advance. LOTRIČ Metrology helps you in various fields – mechanics, metallography, polymer technology and chemistry.
