Failure Analysis

Failure of plastic and rubber products can have serious consequences through extended down time, recall costs and loss of customer good will. These costs often outweigh the cost of the components involved. ipolytech can help you identify and resolve the cause of product failures quickly and effectively. We have extensive experience in plastic and rubber failure analysis and corrective action.


Failure Analysis

Mechanical & Physical Testing

Independent Polymer Technology have a diverse range of mechanical test capabilities to assess both short term and long term material and component performance. We have significant expertise in assessment of environmental stress cracking resistance of plastics , and long term fatigue and creep resistance
