Failure Analysis

From our roots as the troubleshooting lab for one of the country’s premier polymer companies, we have acquired top-caliber methods, personnel and databases to help you determine the root cause for your product failures -- and then work to stop those problems from reappearing.

Defect and Failure Mechanism Identification

We have various techniques that allow us to isolate and identify defects within your product. We also have the experience to determine their root cause and the failure mechanisms involved.

Compositional Problems

Our deformulation capabilities can help you determine if the material you have is what it is supposed to be.

The right material for the job?

Can your material handle the conditions required for its application? We can help you determine the material’s physical properties and if they will hold up to the test of time.

Deformulation

Identifying a material's components can be incredibly powerful in competitor research.  The performance of your product may depend on the chemical composition and quality of ingredients. 

Our scientists use technologies including FTIR, Chromatography, XRF, and ICP to quickly and quantitatively answer one of the most often asked questions in the polymer industry: “What is this?”

Deformulation in Competitive Analysis

Are you trying to match the performance of an existing product? Our scientists have extensive experience in product deformulation to arrive at an identification of the base polymer or a complete accounting of additives and their quantity. In short, our scientists can take apart your competitor’s material to help you understand what it is and how to beat it.

Material Identification

Our diverse capabilities allow us to identify and evaluate materials in a wide range of polymers and additives. We can help you determine the base polymer type, the identity and level of a particular additive, the major components present, or a comprehensive account of each additive present, including the level.

Molecular Weight Determination

Our lab has the capability to determine molecular weights for a number of polymer systems.

Composition Comparison

Our scientists can help you determine consistency of products and raw materials with our state of the art techniques.
