The costs associated with part or product failure can be extreme. Our failure analysis experience in polymer and plastics helps us quickly identify the root causes and suggest corrective measures. PDI offers premier polymer characterization and analysis, using techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, chromatography, and thermal analysis.
Whether a part, a component, or a product failure appeared suddenly or over time, we can help you determine what went wrong and how to correct the problem. We can identify the root cause(s) of failure of your product to determine if it is material, processing, design, or service related.
Our expertise in the area of failure analysis allows us to offer valuable and efficient solutions. PDI will work with you as an R&D associate in order to meet your Failure Analysis and plastics testing needs.
