According to its integration into TITK Group, smartpolymer GmbH guarantees a high level of innovative strength in order to be able to excellently implement customer-specific requirements. If required, the material research expertise of TITK - Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research can be used. Furthermore, access to the testing services of OMPG - Ostthüringische Materialprüfgesellschaft für Textil und Kunststoffe mbH is possible. The laboratories of OMPG are accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.

Textile testing

OMPG can offer a very wide range of textile testing. The equipment permits the testing of single yarns, textile fabrics (woven, knitted, non-woven) and composite components. The range includes mechanical, physical and processing tests on textiles. Special examinations of the content of harmful substances, the emission behaviour and textiles analytics complete the offer. Other specialisations of OMPG are aging, durability and flammability tests. Tests of light fastness, fastness to perspiration and saliva resistance can be offered in addition. Process tests can be performed on spunbond fabric, wet laid and needle-punched nonwovens facilities. There is a long tradition in processing natural fiber products. 

Composite materials

The range extends from nonwoven mats, honeycomb plates to deep-drawn or back-injected components. OMPG owns diverse pilot plant equipment and test equipment for the manufacture and testing of these special materials. The range includes mechanical, physical and processing tests. Special examinations of the content of harmful substances, the emission behaviour and fibre analytics complete the offer.
Other specialisations of OMPG are aging, durability and flammability tests. Tests of UV and weather resistance can be offered in addition.

Leather testing

Leather-covered components are used for special vehicle applications. The material tests must cover the specific characteristics of the natural material and also its use. The test spectrum for leather applications of OMPG ranges from mechanical tests, abrasion and durability tests and emission measurements.  

Foam materials

Foam materials and foamed plastics are used more and more with the aim to reduce the weight. The testing of foam materials is performed in compliance with special standards and offered by OMPG. The special punching tools and the required test specimen holders are available. The range of tests includes mechanical and physical tests of foam materials. Special examinations of the content of harmful substances and the emission behaviour complete the offer. Other specialisations of OMPG are aging, durability and flammability tests.
