Haltermann has chosen Spectronic Analytical Instruments to supply its laboratories with a Leica S6D microscope.
The microscope offers documentation solutions for a range of fields, including manufacturing, quality inspection, small parts assembly, OEM integration, and research and development.
Haltermann is a subsidiary of the Dow Chemical Company.
Its core business is custom processing and chemical recovery.
This can include reactive distillation and batch, or continuous fractionation.
Processes include esterification, hydrolysis, quatanisation and methylation.
The product range includes esters, ethers and environmentally friendly solvents, together with some custom-produced products and recovered solvents.
Potential new processes are modelled in the laboratory and corrosion examined.
The S6D microscope provides a means of observing and measuring any surface pitting on steel samples, which are included in the new reaction process.
