# Expertise of failures on polymers

## You wish to carry out an expertise of failures on your polymers?

Polymers include, among others, thermoplastic or thermosetting materials (PE, PP, PET, PVC, PTFE,) composite materials, or polymer-based formulations (paints, glue, resin, varnish…). They are used in many industries for their lightness, flexibility and insulating properties. FILAB assists you in the expertise of polymer failures.

Moreover, a failure can materialize under multiple forms: crack, rupture, pollution, thermal degradation…

## FILAB laboratory assists you in the expertise of polymer failures

Through our three levels of services: analysis, expertise and R&D support, FILAB assists companies of all sectors and sizes.

Indeed, FILAB supports you in the analysis of failures on your polymers and takes charge of the different stages of realization.

Thanks to its high level of in-house expertise and diversified analytical equipment, FILAB can offer you solutions tailored to your needs. Our laboratory provides you with a specific expertise program, aimed at identifying the nature of the defect and diagnosing its origin.
