Rubber and Plastics, a section of Analytical Science Division
of GIRDA, is engaged in testing and research in the field of
polymers.
Polymers comprises broad spectrum of materials including
Plastics, Rubber, Resins and Fibers. They find application in
various sectors of life from domestic to strategic
applications. Testing and characterization of polymers are
important to assess the quality and performance of materials
and products made of them. We offer broad range of testing and
research services to customers from various sectors.
Our
Customers Include
-
Product/Raw material manufacturing industries that want
to test their Product or Raw material for
certification, research, identification of the nature
or composition of competitors/market-picked products.
-
Govt. agencies/Independent agencies who want to ensure
the quality of incoming materials.
-
Research organizations that want to characterize
materials for research.
