Identification of plastics and polymers is important to confirm that the correct material has been used in an application, or to determine if contaminants or recycled materials are present. Polymer identification can be performed on both single-component polymers as well as blends and composites. The expertise of our staff and our full library of instrumentation and test methods ensures that your questions will be answered in a timely and professional manner.

Whether you are in the development phase or responding to a customer’s complaint regarding a finished product, polymer and material identification can be crucial. Please reach out to our staff and allow us to take some of the burden out of this process.

A wide array of specialized techniques such as Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Chromatography methods such as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and Thermogravimetric Analysis(TGA) are used in the identification and characterization process.
