NHCA Chemical and Polymer Testing and Analysis Case Studies
Polymers are found in every industry. Applications and environments often dictate the types, densities and allowable limits of organic and inorganic compounds used during manufacture. Knowing what chemicals are inherent or lingering after manufacturing is critical. New Hampshire Materials Lab utilizes a variety of testing methods to determine the raw material and the final chemical makeup of a delivered product.
Please review a few examples of case studies utilizing various procedures, equipment and material property identifications.
