PLASTIC AND POLYMERS TESTING

NEED FOR PLASTIC AND POLYMERS TESTING IN INDIA

Most of the things surrounding us are made up of polymers, and as a result, we can say that they form an important part of our lives. But as the usage of polymer is increasing quickly, the need for testing the quality of the polymer has also arisen. The main reason for this being the toxic nature of polymers and plastic of compromised quality. Through the physical and mechanical testing of the polymers, the analysis and characterization of both synthetic and natural or bio-based polymers can be done effectively. Also, polymer products find applications in multiple industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer, medical, defense, and so on.

The industry specifications of polymers are different for all these sectors, and polymer testing guides the suppliers and product developers to make the exact type of product for the designated industry. Through testing, producers are able to clearly gauge the capabilities and limitations of the material and consequently can identify the suitable industry for them. Testing also results in the optimization of the polymer industry supply chain. The efficiency of the polymer product to withstand multiple environmental conditions, the shelf-life of the product and the resistance of the product against rough handling can also be effectively comprehended through testing.

WHAT IS PLASTIC AND POLYMERS TESTING

The Polymer Market comprises a large number of manufacturers of industrial products. As a result of this growing competition, there is an increasing amount of pressure to achieve high product quality and reduce the costs of production in order to be able to stay one step ahead of the competition. And that is where testing comes to play. Testing plays a very important role in the life span of a polymer, right from sourcing the raw material of the polymer compound, to the semi-finished and completely finished product. Each stage has a unique set of test requirements, and each end consumer might also need a different test solution depending on their industry and specifications. But to understand polymers and plastic testing more it is

pertinent to comprehend the true meaning of these terms.

Plastic is a common term used for a wide range of synthetic and natural compounds, each of which has a distinct and specific mechanical property that is suitable for various applications and industries. So consequently, plastics comprise a wide variety of reinforcing materials and fillers additives. And the different combinations of these materials and their manufacturing process can considerably impact the mechanical properties of the final product. So essentially it can be concluded that plastic testing is a method to identify these different materials.

TESTING PARAMETERS FOR PLASTIC AND POLYMERS TESTING AT ANACON

A wide range of parameters are considered while performing the Polymer and Plastic Testing at the Anacon Laboratories, but the two major guiding parameters are the analysis of the materials that make up the final Polymer and the tensile strength of the polymer.

SUBCATEGORIES OF PLASTIC AND POLYMERS MONITORING

A wide range of sub-categories is considered for testing at the Anacon Laboratories to provide combustive and thorough Polymer and plastics testing solutions.

Thermoplastics Testing

Thermoplastics are materials whose chemical composition does not change when subjected to heat. This property finds usage in many industries, and they are tested based on it.

Compostability And Biodegradability Testing

Compostability and biodegradability testing is used to analyze the compostable materials present in a particular material, based on the intermediates and additive fillers present in it.

Polymer Material Identification Testing

Polymers find usage in multiple industries and through the Polymer Material Identification Testing; it is ensured that the constituent materials are suitable for the intended industry.

Migration Testing For Packaging Material

Compostability and biodegradability testing is used to analyze the compostable materials present in a particular material, based on the intermediates and additive fillers present in it.
