The Mini Film-Maker Kit supplied by Spectrolab Systems, the authorized importer and distributor for Specac in India, is designed for producing uniform, high-quality thin films of polymer and plastic materials for FTIR transmission analysis and laboratory sample preparation. Spectrolab Systems ensures reliable and reproducible thin film preparation while providing local technical support and application guidance for laboratories across India.
This compact kit enables quick and efficient hot pressing of pellets and other sample forms from ambient temperature up to 250 °C. It consistently delivers reproducible film thicknesses from 15 to 500 microns, with a standard film diameter of 15 mm, making it ideal for laboratories that require controlled and repeatable FTIR measurements.
The system integrates a compact hydraulic press, digital temperature controller, and heated platens with a lightweight film-maker assembly. Its small footprint and ease of operation make it a preferred solution in analytical laboratories for both routine FTIR analysis and research-based sample preparation.
The heated platens can be preheated and maintained at the melt-point temperature of the sample material. The film-maker assembly is prepared using a small quantity of sample material—typically a few tens of milligrams—with an appropriate sizing ring. Once prepared, it is introduced into the preheated platens, enabling controlled film formation with uniform thickness and high reproducibility.
