What Are Polymer Testing Services?

Polymer Testing Services refer to analytical procedures used to characterize and evaluate the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of polymer materials. These tests are critical in industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, medical devices, aerospace, and packaging to ensure compliance, durability, and performance.

Some common tests include:

• Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) for molecular weight distribution
• Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
• Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
• Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
• Mechanical strength and tensile testing
