Case study | Identification of a Surface Contamination on a Multi-Layer Polymer System

Applying Advanced Microscopy and Chemical Analysis to Polymer Contamination Root Cause Investigation

Unexpected contamination in polymer systems can lead to product failures, production delays, and reputational risk. By adopting a forensic science approach to polymer failure investigations, it is possible to explore and understand potential failures related to processing and materials such as identification of surface contamination on a multi-layer polymer system.

In this case study our expert describes the stepwise analytical approaches using advanced microscopy and chemical analysis techniques to identify surface contamination on a multi-layer polymer system. This insight helped to identify the source of the contamination.
