Polymer Failure Analysis

Polymer Analysis Laboratory Solutions
Intertek laboratories help clients determine cause and solution for polymer failure analysis and related requirements. Polymer properties and characteristics are measured to help determine why polymer materials fail. The polymer laboratories provide an extensive variety of analytical techniques, staffed by experts with expertise in multidisciplinary applications.
Failure Analysis of Polymers:
  • Difficult or challenging polymer samples
  • Additives in polymers and elastomers
  • Contaminants and inclusions
  • Mechanical failure
  • Chemical attack
  • Oxidative degradation
  • Failure of fibre-reinforced composites
  • Problems related to polymer additives
  • Weathering
  • Environmental stress and cracking
  • Residual stresses and weld lines
  • Polymer odour, tainting and outgassing problems
  • Adhesion problems with polymers and interfaces
  • Voids, blisters, nibs and other surface defects
  • Polymer discoloration
