Examples of polymers we work with

PolyAnalytik serves as a reliable QA/QC laboratory with fast turnarounds for routine analysis of Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution (polydispersity) of end products or raw materials for full scale and pilot plants. The company also engages with R&D departments for product development and characterization projects to further investigate the molecular properties and to differentiate among samples with similar mechanical and thermal behaviors. Such projects typically involve advanced analyses such as Long Chain Branching (LCB), Copolymer Composition and Cross-Linking.

In addition to advanced GPC services, PolyAnalytik offers standard testing services such as Solution Viscosity and Solvent Extraction (e.g. Xylene Solubles Analysis of Polypropylene and Ethylene Propylene Rubber). Please contact our staff for more details.
