Polymers and Rubber
Polymers and Rubber Testing
Polymers and rubbers are being regularly analyzed to check their composition and their toxic contents. Physical tests and Ageing tests are also being conducted. We are operating a Petroleum Testing Laboratory for a major Refinery. Tests routinely conducted for Polymers and Rubber materials in our Polymer Testing Laboratory are:
