The versatile set of test and simulation devices includes a multilayer co-extrusion blown film line, a cast film line, a corona surface treatment system and a printing simulator. A cold chamber supports the development of advanced additives for cold climate environment. With a newly installed, modified QUV system, Tosaf is responding to increasing customer demand for results from accelerated weathering in aggressive environments.
