India’s Top Polymer Testing Services at Omega Lab
Our polymer testing lab services are one of the best in the country, assuring the quality, safety, composition, strength, and purity of your polymer products. The advanced testing methods at Omega Lab helps manufacturers validate polymers, detect fillers or contaminants, and verify whether a material is virgin or recycled. We confirm material identity, and assist in qualifying products for diverse industrial applications and usage.
Our Polymer Testing Services
1. Mechanical Testing
Our experts at Omega Lab will evaluate the strength, flexibility, and durability of polymer material under real-world conditions. With this mechanical test, you can ensure the amount of load, stress, and longevity of your polymer samples.
2. FTIR Testing
Material confirmation is one of the most requested polymer tests and we achieve it through FTIR (ATR Diamond Method). It reads the material by matching functional groups with the spectrum library to evaluate the purity of the polymer and identify fillers if any in as less as 30 secs.
3. DSC Testing (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
DSC testing evaluates the thermal characteristics of polymers, and also to find melting temperature, cooling and crystallization behavior, and enthalpy values that determine its thermal stability.
4. TGA Testing (Thermogravimetric Analysis)
Through TGA, we identify virgin material content and quantify strengthening fillers or additives present in the polymer. Industries also get to understand if the polymer is pure or recycled via accurate graph results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why makes polymer testing crucial?
Polymer testing is highly integral for various industries to ensure the purity, safety, and thermal stability for diverse application manufacturing.
2. Can you identify virgin vs recycled polymers?
Yes, using FTIR, DSC, and TGA testing methods, we at Omega Lab help differentiate virgin and recycled polymers by testing the purity.
3. How do I give my polymer sample to be tested at Omega Lab?
Based on the industrial requirements, we accept all types of polymer test samples, be it small particles or finished products, for accurate results.
4. What is the turnaround time for polymer testing various samples?
Turnaround time varies based on what testing methodology is used to test a polymer sample. While it takes very minimal time to perform an FTIR test, mechanical test results might take more time.
