Furniture, GC's, Tensile Test, Filtra Test, Pelletizing, HPLC, XRF, FTIR, Film Test, Microscopes, MFI, Extruders, Contamination on Pellets, Pellet Size and Shape Distribution, Wet Lab etc.) Re-Design of OCS Glossmeter & Hazemeter Enhancement of Chill Roll Unit CR9 Worldwide introduction of OP5 Exhibitions: Plast '06, Milano, Italy Chinaplas, Shanghai, China Achema, Frankfurt, Germany NPE'06, Chicago, USA TIPREX, Bangkok, Thailand
2005	New corporate building with integrated expanded laboratory and technical college 3rd International Seminar on Gel Quality standards, held at OCS in Witten, Germany New products include the improved version of the Measuring Extruder and Winder Unit, now with touch panel and complete electronic drive Exhibitions: Arabplast, Dubai, UAE Aseanplas, Singapore Chinaplast, Guangzhou, China IPF, Tokyo, Japan Ausplas, Melbourne, Australia Powtech, Nürnberg, Germany Europlast, Paris, France Expoquimica, Barcelona, Spain
2004	New products have been developed: Pellet Analyser PSSA for controlling the contaminations of raw material, the size and shape distribution (identification of doubles or triples), the color and the appearance of angel hair and dust to monitor the cutting process. Additionally the bulk density is available. Powder Analyser SA80 for checking diluted powder for contamination, false colors and foreign objects. Contamination will be detected only if it appears several times at the same position within the inspection area. Thus an exact counting of defects is guaranteed. Liquid Analyser LA20 for quality control of discolouration and inhomogenities of fluent material by means of variable lighting techniques, e. g. polarised light, or diffuse light or parallet light etc. Exhibitions: T-Plast 2004, Bangkok, Thailand Chinaplast, Shanghai, China K’2004 Show, Düsseldorf, Germany Plastics USA, Chicago, USA
