From incoming material validation to full failure analysis, our laboratory supports your polymers at every stage of their lifecycle.
FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and GC-MS to identify polymers, analyze contamination, and characterize additives.
SEM imaging, particle size analysis, and surface characterization to understand the links between a polymer’s structure and properties.
UV aging, thermal aging, hydrolysis resistance, and environmental stress testing to anticipate long-term performance.
DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA to characterize melting, crystallization, glass transition, degradation, and dimensional stability.
Melt flow index, viscosity, viscoelastic behavior, and processability analysis for thermoplastics and elastomers.
Tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, and fatigue testing according to ISO and ASTM standards. Complete stress-strain characterization.
Non-destructive testing by X-ray tomography: 3D NDT, failure analysis, and inspection of industrial assemblies.
