The core of Jordi’s business is the analysis of polymers. We have successfully deformulated hundreds of polymer products including polymer composites, adhesives, thermosets, rubbers and latexes since 1980. We understand the complexities of polymer systems and can analyze your polymer to determine any of the following:
- Monomer composition
- Pigment determination
- Additive quantitation
- Percent and type of filler (SiO2, Carbon Black, etc.)
- Antioxidant analysis
- Copolymer analysis
- Crosslink density
- Residual monomer concentration
- Absolute or relative molecular weight
- Weight percent below 500 and 1000 Mw
- Mold release – slip agents composition
We have previously analyzed essentially every major class of commercially available polymer including, but not limited to:
- Polyolefins (PE, PP etc.)
- Styrenics (PS, ABS, SAN etc.)
- Biodegradable Polymers
- Butadiene-based, natural and synthetic rubbers
- Polysiloxanes
- Thermoset resins (melamine, phenol formaldehyde, epoxy etc.)
- Polyesters (PET, PBT, PCL, PGA, PLA etc.)
- Polyethers (PEG, PPG etc.)
- Polycarbonates
- Nylons
- Vinyl polymers (PVC, PVA, EVOH)
- Polysaccharides and Cellulosics
- Polyurethanes and ureas
- Methacrylates and acrylates
- Cationic, anionic and zwitterionic polymers
- Fluoropolymers
