NONMETALLICS

Exceptional polymer analysis and non-metallic testing with your requirements in mind.

The Polymer Analysis Department, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for polymer analysis and characterization, is supported by numerous resources, capable of evaluating routine materials to complex failure analyses. Furthermore, our non-metallic testing lab is well-equipped to perform all standard testing as well as specialized tests custom designed to our clients’ requirements. For information about our non-metallic testing and polymer analysis capabilities, contact:

Mike Bimbo (Manager - Polymer & Specialty Chemistry in NY),
John DeFranks (Materials Engineer in NY)
Ron Parrington, P.E., FASM (President), or
Hector Marini, Ph.D. (Senior Chemist in KY).
