When plastic components fail unexpectedly, the impact can range from costly downtime to serious safety risks.
Our plastic failure examination services are designed to identify the root cause of failure—quickly and accurately.
Whether it's cracking, discoloration, warping, or complete structural breakdown, we combine material science expertise
with advanced analytical techniques to get to the heart of the issue. From automotive parts to consumer products and
industrial components, we help clients solve problems, improve product performance, and prevent future failures.
How Plastic Failure Analysis Works
Our investigation begins by gathering background information such as service conditions, manufacturing processes, and
environmental exposure. We then conduct a thorough visual inspection, followed by laboratory testing such as microscopy,
thermal analysis (like DSC or TGA), spectroscopy (FTIR), and mechanical property evaluation. These techniques allow us
to detect issues like stress cracking, material degradation, contamination, improper molding, or design flaws. Once the
cause is identified, we deliver a clear, actionable report with recommendations for corrective action—whether it’s
material selection, design modification, or process optimization. With our plastic failure analysis, you get clarity,
confidence, and solutions that drive quality forward.
