Polymer Material Testing
Polymer material testing encompasses various chemical, mechanical and physical analysis techniques to characterize plastics, laminates, resins, composites, and other polymeric materials. For instance, we can use FT-IR to confirm that the parts are the right material, DSC to check for contamination, and the melt flow indexer to assess whether the components have degraded. In order to assess the mechanical integrity of a part, mechanical tests including durometer hardness, izod impact, tensile strength, and flexural strength are also helpful. Comprehensive characterization of polymers is essential in delivering a safe product and ensuring product durability and performance over its lifecycle. Chemical Analysis: Provides insightful information on structure, composition, molecular weight, weight distribution, etc. Furthermore, residue, additives, fillers, and VOC analysis in polymers help understand their effect on the polymers’ stability and durability. Investigative chemical studies can also be performed for deformulation/reverse engineering of competitive products, comparative product studies, failure analysis of faulty products, and regulatory testing. Quality control of polymer raw materials and finished products is another area where chemical analysis techniques are frequently employed.
