Polymer Testing
POLYMER TESTING
QAI ANALYZES ALL TYPES OF POLYMERS.
At QAI, we are accredited to perform polymer and plastic testing in accordance with ASTM, ISO and other recognized testing standards. We perform analysis on many different types of polymers including thermoplastics, thermosets, adhesives, elastomers, rubbers, etc., and can help assure that your materials meet your exact manufacturing specifications. We can also perform material ID, thermal property analysis, particle cleanliness, and conduct failure analysis investigations.
OUR POLYMER TESTING METHODS INCLUDE:
- Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)
- Attenuated Total Reflectance Accessories (ATR)
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
- Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
- Melt Flow Indexer (MFI)
- Filler Content and ID
- Particle Cleanliness
- Hardness Testing
- Real Time X-Ray
- Density
- Specific Gravity
- Tensile Testing
- Compression Testing
- Flex Modulus
We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about a polymeric material or product, investigate any issues and develop solutions, consult with you regarding polymer and plastic products and material requirements, and can even perform salt fog testing to simulate weather exposure over time.
If you simply need material analyses to determine what to put on the engineering print or if you need a full engineering print from a part or assembly of parts we can help. Our experienced chemists have performed this type of analysis on many different products and have the skills and laboratory instruments and tools to accomplish this.
Finally, with our depth of experience in polymer testing and research, we can help you improve your product by improving wear, strength, toughness, etc.
