Nanoscience Instruments invites you to their event
About this event
Laboratory platen presses are widely used for sample preparation, material development and quality control across a variety of industries.
In this introductory webinar, we will present Fontijne Presses and provide an overview of our laboratory platen press portfolio. We will introduce the different product families, from compact manual and benchtop presses to automated, vacuum and highly customizable systems, and highlight their main features and capabilities.
We will also look at some of the application areas in which laboratory platen presses are commonly used, including polymers, rubber, composites and other materials. Finally, we will discuss some of the key parameters to consider when selecting a laboratory press, such as force, temperature, platen size, cooling and level of process control.
