ATS provides high-quality polymer analysis and testing services with innovative technology and the latest industry standards. Using physical and analytical methods, our experts can verify the chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of a polymeric material. These properties are crucial in ensuring that the polymer part performs as required by the end user.
Comprehensive Material Analysis
Our services address a wide spectrum of material needs, from polymer identification to quality assurance. For example, we can verify that the parts are made of the proper material using FT-IR, check for contamination using DSC, and then determine if the parts are degraded using a melt flow indexer. Additionally, mechanical tests such as hardness, impact, tensile, and flexural strength can determine the mechanical integrity of a part.
We perform polymer testing and analysis to determine the composition of organic thin films, surface contamination, fibers, or composites. Finally, thermal characterization can help determine performance, process capabilities, and quality, and aid in product development.
