8 Techniques Behind Our Polymer Analysis
Material characterization for medical devices at our Oragadam lab — thermal, structural, and compositional testing for manufacturers who need to know exactly what their polymer is doing.
Call 90876 86986 WhatsApp UsA polymer behaves differently at every temperature it passes through — this analysis is how you find out before your device does.
Our material characterization service covers eight techniques run at our Oragadam laboratory, giving medical device manufacturers thermal, structural, and compositional data on their polymers. This polymer analysis sits alongside our medical device material testing capabilities, so a manufacturer gets both the mechanical performance and the underlying material science behind it, in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does material characterization actually tell me? +
This service identifies what a polymer is, how it behaves under heat, and what’s inside it — through thermal, spectroscopic, and elemental techniques.
What’s the difference between DSC and thermogravimetric testing? +
DSC measures thermal transitions like melting point and glass transition temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis tracks weight loss as a sample is heated, revealing decomposition behavior and filler content.
Can infrared spectroscopy confirm a polymer’s identity? +
Yes. This technique generates an infrared spectrum unique to a polymer’s chemical structure, referenced to ASTM E1252 for confirming identity.
What is the turnaround time for this testing? +
Turnaround depends on which techniques are required. Contact us with your material and sample details for an exact timeline.
