Elastomer Analysis

elastomer analysis Analytical techniques are used to identify the specific polymer type and compound. They can also be used to identify contamination sources on the surface, or surface properties which may have contributed to the failure. Traditional elastomer test methods can determine chemical compatibility, changes in dimension, hardness or physical properties. In vacuum systems, the analysis of outgassing components may lead to the identification of failure mode.
