PolyMat

WIDLER PolyMat is an independent polymer consultancy and training service based in Hittnau, Switzerland, led by Dr. Roland Widler. It helps product developers and manufacturers make informed choices about plastics, rubber and elastomers, with advice focused on practical requirements, product function and safety. Clients can seek support with questions about material performance and service life, as well as the potential effects of materials on food and drinking water.

Consulting services are tailored to each assignment and may include problem analysis, proposed solutions, second opinions and expert reports. Depending on the project, WIDLER PolyMat can also conduct literature research, evaluate materials, support test planning, analyse data, source samples and connect clients with specialists, companies or testing institutions. Work can conclude with a presentation, written report or formal assessment.

The business also provides practical training, including courses on polymer material selection for product developers and manufacturers, guest teaching and company-specific sessions arranged by agreement. Its expertise draws on experience in chemistry, materials engineering education and the plastics-processing industry.
