About<\/span>
OPR Group<\/h2>\n

With 40 years of experience in elastomer technology, countless cases of damage investigated, material analyses, seminars and consultations, we are now at your side with help and advice and our extensively equipped test laboratory.<\/p>\n

We test, assess and qualify technical rubber goods and thermoplastic components for you. Founded in 1996 as O-Ring Pr\u00fcflabor Richter GmbH<\/strong>, we have since outgrown our \u2018sealing shoes\u2019 and have developed from a pure O-ring testing laboratory into a respected centre of excellence for elastomers. We look forward to supporting you with our expertise and finding solutions to your challenges together.

Training course for elastomer experts<\/h2>\n

Elastomers are a central component of many technical applications - but sound specialist knowledge in this field is rare. This is exactly where our new elastomer expert course comes in: It closes the knowledge gap and provides comprehensive knowledge of materials, processing, testing methods and damage analysis. This further training course is practice-oriented and combines sound specialist knowledge with a deep understanding of the requirements of the industry. Content such as supplier management and procurement, industry-relevant insights and a hybrid learning concept consisting of face-to-face and online sessions ensure maximum flexibility and relevance. The structured course extends over two semesters and includes three practical workshops, an excursion and an exclusive specialist trip to Italy - for a holistic learning experience that optimally combines theory and practice. The course is aimed at technicians, engineers, quality managers and specialist consultants from the sealing industry - in short, anyone who depends on reliable and sound elastomer expertise in their day-to-day work. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Analytical testing<\/h2>\n

With our state-of-the-art analytics department, we can analyze all polymer materials, i.e. elastomers as well as thermoplastics and thermosets, with regard to their ingredients and their qualitative and quantitative composition. The analysis of deposits, particles or impurities, the identification of unknown substances or the analysis of the outgassing behavior of polymer materials are also among the tasks in which we support our customers reliably, quickly and competently. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Resistance testing for the oil industry (static and dynamic)<\/h2>\n

As an independent specialist for elastomers and seals, we are the perfect partner for the oil industry when it comes to testing the compatibility of new and existing lubricant formulations with elastomers. We understand the interactions between base oils and additives with elastomers, and this specialist knowledge ensures that our tests are as reproducible and reliable as possible. This applies to both static storage tests and dynamic test bench tests and is one reason why our results are accepted by almost all relevant OEMs. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Failure analysis<\/h2>\n

With over 3500 damage analyses carried out on elastomer products, there is no other provider in the world that can better support you in understanding damage and reliably preventing its causes. We are well versed in all relevant disciplines, i.e. testing, materials, applications and processing. Our analyses are carried out exclusively by experienced and field-tested engineers. In addition to the test results, the final report contains a summary that is easy to understand, even for non-experts, and clear recommendations for action. In this way, we not only provide you with explanations, but also solve your problems with elastomer products in the long term. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
