Arlanxeo opens QC lab at Dutch EPDM plant

Geleen, The Netherlands – Arlanxeo has opened a manufacturing quality-control laboratory at its Chemelot Keltan EPDM production site in Geleen, the rubber company has announced.

The 250 square metre Q-Laboratory is located next to the EPDM plant and directly connected to the control room. The set-up is designed to enables operators to make immediate process adjustments as a result of tests.

The facility will operate on a 24/7 basis and, said Arlanxeo, carry out test that were previously done by external resources. This, it claimed, will strengthen the company’s competitive position of the global EPDM business.

The opening comes as Arlanxeo marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of Keltan EPDM.
