Significant investments strengthen Circo Lab’s co‑creation and testing capabilities
March 19, 2026 at 11:26 AM
Circo® Polymer Laboratory has made significant investments in measuring equipment, taking the laboratory’s development and testing capabilities to a new level. These improvements are evident in higher result quality, faster project cycles, and deeper understanding of material behaviour. The emphasis is on tangible customer benefits and better material solutions.
Delivering better and more sustainable materials
The investments enable:
- higher‑performing and more consistent materials,
- more predictable processing behaviour,
- improved recyclability and responsibility,
- and more innovative, competitive product solutions.
Circo Lab strengthens its role as a strategic partner to customers aiming for technically advanced and sustainable polymer materials.
Faster development
Co‑development accelerates significantly when trials can be conducted in house. This allows:
- agile formulation testing,
- cost‑efficient experimentation with small batches,
- quicker iteration cycles,
- and early identification of promising material options.
This agility is particularly valuable when working with recycled materials, specialty additives, or limited pilot‑scale batches.
Reliable scale‑up from lab to production
Improved capability to produce high‑quality, standard‑compliant test specimens ensures that material behaviour observed in the lab aligns more closely with real production conditions. Customers benefit from:
- more reliable scale‑up from pilot to production,
- more consistent processing behaviour,
- and smoother transitions from prototypes to final products.
Comprehensive material expertise under one roof
Expanded analytical resources — including mechanical testing, thermal analysis, rheology, chemical analysis, and processing trials — enable:
- complete material profiles
- a consistent and efficient analytics workflow,
- and strong technical support throughout development.
In this way, Circo Lab provides customers with a unified, reliable, and comprehensive testing environment that supports material development from start to finish.
