Polymer Testing

The polymer testing laboratories at IEMA provide exceptional expertise in testing polymeric materials such as elastomers, thermoplastics, composites, coatings, and structural adhesives across a range of industries. IEMA’s advanced polymer testing laboratories offer valuable information on the performance of plastics and other polymeric materials when subjected to mechanical and environmental pressures. 

Our skilled team and state-of-the-art lab equipment enable us to conduct a wide variety of tests, such as compositional and chemical analysis, thermal analysis, permeation testing, and mechanical testing of polymers.

Chemical Polymer Testing

IEMA is capable of offering comprehensive data about the chemical composition of a polymeric substance, providing valuable information about its quality, compatibility with other materials, and detecting any impurities or pollutants. Our laboratories are equipped to conduct thorough chemical and thermal analysis to precisely identify the components of an unidentified polymeric material. Chemical polymer testing may be required for purposes such as material verification, failure analysis, or deformulation.

Mechanical Polymer Testing

The process of polymer mechanical testing involves exposing the test sample to various levels and types of mechanical stress in order to assess its performance in challenging conditions. IEMA’s mechanical testing capabilities encompass a wide range of methods and are not restricted to specific types.
