Manufacturers rely on polymer laboratories to test the polymers they use in their products for any variety of reasons. Whether testing is needed to address a quality control concern, ensure regulation compliance, promote safety performance, conduct preventative maintenance, carry out a failure analysis, or determine the material’s identity, Applied Technical Services’ polymer laboratories can supply clients with the insight they need to achieve these goals.

ATS is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (A2LA) accredited to perform more than twenty polymer-related testing methods to nearly four dozen widely recognized industry standards. Our polymer laboratories employ veteran chemists, engineers and technicians, who return accurate findings quickly because of their familiarity with performing relevant methods of polymer analysis. They utilize a wide variety of polymer testing methods to discern the chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of sample materials. The following table reflects the polymer-related test methods that ATS performs to their internationally recognized standards:
