Custom Analytical Method Development and Testing

The path to a viable analytical solution is not always found in standard methods and testing. Although we have the capability to do standard analysis, we are also experienced in developing analytical methods and test plans that do not conform specifically to a standard, and are specific to the issue at hand.

We have over 165 years of combined polymer science knowledge and practice dedicated to solving your problem. We develop custom analytical methods and test plans for clients across a broad range of industries, specialties, and needs.

Tell us your problem and we will solve it!

Work We've Done

Custom Testing Methods

It is not unusual for clients to have novel materials and products that require analysis that is not covered in a standard test protocol such as an ASTM or ISO method. For example, residual solvent testing methods vary widely depending on the base material, the solvents of interest, and the minimum levels allowed in the product. Polymer Solutions Incorporated will develop and document a method specific to the clients needs.

Alternatively, if the client has an internal, supplier, or customer method that they would like PSI to follow in order to certify or qualify a material, this can be done as needed. Custom methods have been developed for titrations, viscosity measurements, mechanical testing, composite blend separations and quantifications, filler analysis, additives analysis, and low level contamination analysis.
