What is this fiber? Is it what the supplier claims? Why does this polymer behave differently from the last lot? Our fiber and polymer analysis answers these questions using microscopy, spectroscopy, thermal and mechanical methods.
We interpret results in the context of your product and business question, not just as a list of numbers.
Common problems we're called in to solve
- Fiber content labels may be inaccurate.
- Competitor products need to be benchmarked.
- A polymer lot behaves unexpectedly in processing.
- Counterfeit or substituted materials are suspected.
Our approach
- 1Select appropriate analytical methods for the question.
- 2Coordinate testing with qualified laboratories.
- 3Interpret composition, structure and property data.
- 4Report findings clearly, with business implications.
Outcomes and benefits
- Verified material composition.
- Insight into competitor materials.
- Evidence suitable for commercial or legal use.
Serving Pleasant Hill and the Bay Area
Our Pleasant Hill base lets Bay Area clients hand-deliver samples, while clients nationwide ship samples for analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Can you verify fiber content labels?
Yes. Fiber identification and quantitative analysis can confirm whether labels comply with FTC requirements.
Which analytical techniques do you use?
Microscopy, FTIR, DSC, TGA, tensile testing, and other methods as needed.
Is analysis suitable for litigation?
Yes. We follow documented methods and chain of custody when results may be used in legal matters.
