Innovations in Material Development
At Trelleborg, we specialize in proprietary materials that provide unique benefits to our customers. Our portfolio includes a wide range of polytetrafluorethylenes (PTFE), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), elastomers and high-performance plastics and thermoplastics. Developed in our global R&D network, these materials are designed to meet the demands of modern applications.
Sustainability is at the heard of our development process. We actively explore alternatives that align with the principles of the circular economy, including the integration of recycled and bio-based materials whenever possible.

Comprehensive Material Analysis and Testing
Beyond development, our materials are rigorously tested in-house to ensure application suitability, performance and longevity. With a diverse range of advanced test rigs – some integrated directly into production – we optimize both material properties and processability. Our testing process emphasizes norm-based evaluations of geometries and material quality.
What the Trelleborg Network Offers:
- Mechanical Property Verification: Hardness, tensile strength and density testing
- Advanced Analytical Testing: FT-IR, TGA
- Cold Behavior Analysis: DMA, DSC, TMA
- Expanded Analytics: REM/EDX and GCMS
- Long-Term Performance Testing: Aging behavior, durability and CSR evaluations
- Custom Testing: Tailored solutions for customer-specific requirements and maximum efficiency
Our facilities are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of material science, ensuring every product meets the exacting demands of today’s industries.
