Polymer Testing

A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules called macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits. Generally, polymer can be divided into synthetic and natural polymers. Synthetic polymer generally refers to plastic. Natural polymer includes rubber and wood. Both synthetic and natural polymers play essential and ubiquitous roles in everyday life. Polymer testing encompasses various chemical, mechanical and physical analysis techniques for testing, analysis and characterization of polymer materials.

STEMart provides a wide range of plastic testing services to identify the characteristics of your polymeric material and help you to:

• Identify the characteristics, properties and flaws of your materials
• Comply with all relevant national and international standards
• Ensure that your polymeric materials meet your clients'safety, environmental and aging requirements

Test Capabilities

Chemical analysis provides insightful information on structure, composition, hazardous substance, molecular weight, weight distribution, etc.

Mechanical testing allows comprehensive understanding tensile, flexural, tear, shear, adhesion and compressive properties.

Physical testing focuses on dimensions, color, density, hardness and viscosity.

Other physical characterization techniques include thermal analysis (DSC, TMA, TGA, among others), rheological testing, flammability testing, electrical testing, optical testing, thermal testing, weathering, and environmental testing, including but not limited to humidity, UV, sterilization testing, etc.
