Laboratory Services
To ensure the high quality standard of your product we constantly analyze raw materials and finished products in our lab during the production process. Our laboratory is capable of conducting analytics, such as ph-value, water content, density, viscosity, particle size, FT-IR and rheology measurements in-house with our own equipment. Emulco collaborates with certified laboratories for more in-depth analysis like gas chromatographic analysis, UV-Vis-spectroscopy and HPLC. All results are documented and Certificates of Analysis are issued per manufacturing batch.

- We can handle raw materials and produce mixtures with viscosities up to 15.000 cPs at 160°C.
- Our 12 regular storage tanks ranging from 147 m3 to 300 m3 and 2 massive storage tanks of 1000 m3 and 1700 m3 can store raw materials and enable bulk blends.
Quality Assurance
Corresponding manufacturing reports document every step of all processed orders. All materials pass an entry control as well as routine checks during the manufacturing process. Outgoing goods need to pass an examination to have a final quality release. This structured reporting allows us to backtrack used materials and constantly improve quality.
