In October 2025, Br&Qmesys completed the installation and delivery of the QM900A-U10-2 servo motor heated platen tester at Arkema's Changshu production site. The equipment is now in service within Arkema's specialty-material R&D system, injecting precise testing capability into this world-leading specialty-chemicals company and marking a key step forward in the two parties' high-end testing cooperation.
As a global specialty-materials leader, Arkema's Changshu site focuses on R&D of high-end products such as fluoropolymers, specialty polyamides and coating rheology additives, applied in new-energy vehicles, building energy efficiency and other fields. These specialty materials place extremely high demands on the stability and data accuracy of test equipment.
Precision Testing Technology Solving Core High-End R&D Needs
As one of Arkema's largest production sites worldwide, Changshu focuses on high-end products such as fluoropolymers, specialty polyamides and coating rheology additives. These specialty materials—used in new-energy vehicles and building energy efficiency—demand exceptional stability and data accuracy from test equipment; in particular, the pressure control, heating-rate regulation and temperature uniformity of servo-motor heated platens directly determine the reliability of material-performance testing, a core R&D challenge.
The QM900A-U10-2 delivered by Br&Qmesys specifically solves three major challenges:
| Specification | Value | R&D Pain Point Solved |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure accuracy | ±0.01 MPa | Integrated pressure-feedback module and high-precision sensor for synchronized monitoring |
| Heating rate | 0.1–10℃/min | Adjustable to match the curing curves of different materials |
| Temperature uniformity | ±1℃ | Provides high-reliability data for recipe optimization |
| Operating range | 300℃ / 5MPa | Covers heat-resistance testing of new-energy materials and curing verification of high-end coatings |
Aligned Technical DNA, Walking the Sustainability Path Together
This partnership stems from a deep alignment of technological innovation and green philosophy. Br&Qmesys is deeply rooted in test equipment with precise insight into industry needs, serving high-value fields such as Li-ion materials, semiconductors and specialty chemicals; Arkema's Changshu site has earned ISCC+ international sustainability certification and is advancing bio-based materials R&D and carbon-footprint reduction programs.
By optimizing the energy output of the heated platen, the QM900A-U10-2 helps Arkema reduce R&D energy consumption, putting the "circular use" and "low-carbon innovation" strategies into practice and providing a practical reference for green specialty-materials R&D.
"Arkema's R&D standards represent the highest level in the industry. Delivering equipment under the Br&Qmesys name this time is both recognition of the technology and the starting point for deeper cooperation between both parties."
— China General Manager, Br&Qmesys
Deepening Cooperation, Opening a New Chapter of Industrial Upgrading
Going forward, Br&Qmesys will rely on its six offices nationwide to provide full-lifecycle support—"installation, commissioning, maintenance and upgrade." The two parties also plan deep collaboration on "bio-based materials testing standards" and "low-carbon test-equipment R&D," using technical cooperation to drive high-quality upgrading of the specialty-materials industry and contributing to global sustainability in specialty chemicals.
