Chem-Bac Laboratories offers a full range of physical and mechanical testing capabilities for polymer samples. The physical and mechanical testing of polymers is instrumental in product development and the production process.

This testing of polymers is used to ensure that the material will meet current specifications with respect to quality and durability. The current polymer industry offers a wide array of product types and additives. Helping our clients understand the capabilities and limitations of these products is our main goal.

Raw material suppliers and manufacturers can benefit from physical and mechanical testing data. The testing will allow them to understand the internal properties of the polymers and their additives to ensure that the right materials are used to create the desired result of their final product.

Our physical and mechanical testing capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Rheological testing including Capillary, Rotational, Melt Flow Index, and DSV
• Mechanical testing including Tensile, Flexural, Shear and Compressive properties)
• Physical testing including Density, Hardness and Scratch Resistance
• Thermal testing including DSC, DMTA,TMA, TGA, HDT
• Flammability testing
