Better products start in our labs.
We can test various bioplastic materials and products, ensuring that you have all the information you need to create and bring high-performance products to market.
Test the performance of your polymers.
If you want to try new polymers blends, we can test your formulas with a series of tests that check the quality and performance of your material. This will help you identify weaknesses and pinpoint areas of improvement.
Know what material is in your product.
We can test a wide variety of bioplastics, finished goods, and products — breaking them down to their specific properties, so you know what’s inside.
Understand your materials’ polymer make up.
If you’re making a new product and are purchasing materials from third-party suppliers, we can conduct a series of tests to help you understand how the polymer will perform.
High-performance products tested against the highest standards.
Our polymer analysts can run a wide range of tests to understand the composition and chemical properties of your materials, so we can help you match your materials’ performance to the right applications.
