Intertek launches Polymer Science solutions
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative Polymer Science solutions, a global suite of services designed to help businesses bring safe, high quality, and sustainable polymer innovations to market with greater speed and confidence.
Intertek’s Polymer Science solutions offer a unique, flexible outsourcing partnership, leveraging a global network of engineers, chemists and regulatory experts across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. With over four decades of expertise, our scientists bring deep insight into industry trends and challenges, enabling tailored solutions for diverse supply chain needs across both virgin and recycled materials.
With Polymer Science solutions, polymer innovators can streamline development through outsourced lab-scale compounding, and processing, advisory and testing expertise. Safety assessments, regulatory support, supply chain management, process optimisation, materials testing and sustainability services help manufacturers gain efficiency, compliance, and resilience.
In addition, our global Polymer Science teams support the safe use of polymer materials and ensure compliance with international regulations across multiple industries. Tailored application programmes include OEM-approved testing for automotive components and polymer global notification, testing and compliance for packaging, home and personal care, medical devices and toys.
For recyclers and users of recycled materials, the programme provides one-source support for both mechanical recycling (environmental impact, NIAS testing, regulatory assurance, biodegradation, wastewater monitoring and recycled content verification) and chemical recycling (syngas and chemical analysis, process monitoring) to ensure compliance, efficiency, and quality of the recycled outputs.
