Polymer Laboratory Services

Polymer

Polymers are used in a wide variety of products people see each day.  Depending on the type of product, these polymers must meet certain regulatory standards for safety and quality.  Testing can require the expertise of chemists, engineers, and technologists.  These professionals can help ensure a quality product and peace of mind.

The testing of polymers examines the identity and characteristics of polymers to ensure they meet required standards.  Because polymers are used in a variety of settings different tests and styles of tests may be performed.  These tests can include identification, contaminant analysis, failure analysis, chemical, thermal, mechanical, physical testing and more.
