Is it PP or PE? Nylon 6 or Nylon 66? The wrong polymer in the wrong place causes failures, rejections, and costly recalls — so knowing exactly what a material is matters. As a trusted polymer identification lab in chennai, Kiyo R&D Lab names the polymer, its fillers, and its additives using proven analytical techniques, so you can verify grades and solve material mysteries with confidence.
From unknown plastics and blends to fillers, contaminants, and degraded parts, our expert team delivers accurate identification, supporting analysis, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Polymer identification is the process of determining exactly which plastic or rubber a sample is — its base polymer, and often its fillers and additives too. No single test tells the whole story, so a good polymer identification lab in chennai combines complementary techniques: one names the polymer family, another confirms it by its thermal behaviour, a third reveals fillers and elements.
For manufacturers, it verifies incoming grades match the spec. For QC, it catches wrong or contaminated material. For failure and R&D work, it identifies unknown parts, blends, and degradation — all with documented, defensible evidence.
As a full-service polymer identification lab in chennai, we select the right combination of methods for your sample and the question you need answered.
Names the polymer family.
