Failure Analysis of Plastics & Polymers

Polymer and plastic failures can result in quality issues and safety concerns. CAS-MI's experts in plastic failure analysis can trace the source of failure and determine the root cause.

We have examined plastic and polymer materials in situations such as:

  • Cracking or crazing
  • Brittle parts
  • Chemical attack
  • Environmental stress cracking
  • Off-color or color fading
  • Weathering
  • Surface defects

CAS-MI Laboratories also offers expert witness services to companies facing legal issues due to the failure of plastics or polymer materials (see Litigation Support).
