TESTING SERVICES

Microscopy Investigation

Providing optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) we can assess failed articles to characterise the damage morphology and to identify the presence of contaminants.  Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and dispersion analysis are also available to help identify the nature of foreign materials within failed or defect parts.

 

Chemical and Thermal Analysis

Our state of the art analytical test methodology allows us to fully characterise a polymeric compound to provide you with a report that interprets the results moving your problem forward.  Techniques we employ include:

• Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)
• High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
• Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography (PGC)
• Infra-Red Spectroscopy (IR)
• Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
• Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
• Ion Chromatography (IC)


 With our combined history and experience in industries ranging from carbon black, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, defence, transport and recycling industries, we know what it takes to find you a solution.
