Plastic & Polymers

UV-Vis spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool for accurately assessing the composition and stability of coloured materials—whether solid, liquid, in suspension, or molten. Our devices are used worldwide to monitor and control the production of high-tech composite materials, biopolymers, recyclables, and bulk plastics.

By integrating in-line spectroscopy directly into the process, manufacturers gain valuable real-time insight into material behaviour and product characteristics. This enhanced visibility enables improved efficiency and uptime, consistent product quality, and a significant reduction in waste. ColVisTec’s optical probes and software solutions support both real-time batch quality control and fully automated, closed-loop continuous process control.

To ensure maximum versatility, our product-contacting optical probes are designed to be compatible with a wide range of extrudates, including fibres, films, sheets, laminates, and powders—making them suitable for diverse industrial applications.

ColVisTec’s technology is specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of the plastics and polymers industry. It delivers robust, reliable, and highly accurate spectroscopy, even under extreme operating conditions such as high temperatures and pressures.

Building on this capability, our solutions enable you to better understand and control your extrusion process — helping you improve both product quality and overall operational efficiency.

With over 12 years of combined experience in polymer extrusion and compounding, we bring deep application knowledge across a wide range of materials, including EVA, PP, PET, PVC, Nylon, and Polycarbonates. This expertise allows us to support our customers with practical insights and proven solutions tailored to their processes.
