NH Chemical Analysis Polymer Testing Capabilities

NH Chemical Analysis can identify polymers by FTIR spectroscopy and can therefore verify that the right polymer is being used. We can also measure such physical properties as hardness, tensile strength and elongation as well as thermal properties such as glass transition, melt temperature and decomposition temperature. These are measured by DSC.
