Polymer Testing

During the planning, construction and operation of technical facilities, the characteristics and processing of the used material play an essential role. Materials are subject to mechanical, technological, thermal, wear and corrosive influences, all of which may lead to the component’s failure.

TÜV SÜD can support by providing third party material testing and analysis for the designated application, for their processing characteristics and their conditions.
