Failure Analysis of Plastics, Rubbers & Composite Materials

Quality analysis [PSMC]

Rigorous failure analysis testing of polymer and composite materials

When polymers, plastic, or composite materials crack, break, or fail to perform, Ä¢¹½tv employs a wide array of methods and techniques to assist our clients with root-cause failure analysis.

How does Ä¢¹½tv help you isolate variables and provide evidence-based root cause and failure analysis?

Every industry — from life sciences to oil and gas to consumer products to transportation and food and personal care products — utilizes polymers in their manufacturing process or final product. Polymers are a unique and complex class of materials. When they fail or underperform, it's critical that scientists and engineers who truly understand their formulation-structure-property relationships lead these types of root cause investigations and help clients develop an effective remediation plan.
