Chemical analysis is used to qualitatively or quantitatively study the contents and chemical composition and structure of the materials, therefore helping manufacturers control material quality and reduce product quality problems.
STEMart conducts chemical analysis for polymers, plastics, metals, ceramics and many other materials.
Test Applications
-
Material identification: Identify a complete unknown material
-
Chemical composition analysis: Identify the chemical composition, determine chemical quality, and identify any impurities to ensure that the material are suitable for their intended purposes.
-
Material verification: Verify whether the material chemical composition is consistent with the material certification documents.
-
Contaminant detection: Determine the source of chemical contamination which is crucial to correcting any underlying issues.
-
Residue analysis: Determine the chemical identity of the residues present in the forms of discrete particles, collections of particles, films, discoloration, or stains to assist in the prevention of residue formation.
