Microcompounder and mini injection moulding facility
Booking Link
Description
The microcompounder has a capacity of making polymer nanocomposites. Mini-injection molding machine can subsequently prepare tensile/flexural specimen from the blends/nanocomposites. Thus, the facility offers an option to effectively blend as well as mold smaller quantity of polymeric materials and prepare test specimens for tensile and flexur
