Chemical Problem Solving

Expert Chemical Analysis and Problem Solving for Industry

Problems with manufacturing processes and products can prove costly if not solved quickly. Intertek ASG laboratory chemists have experience in applying advanced chemical analysis to a wide range of chemicals, materials and finished articles. Extensive experience of analytical method development and non-routine problem solving analysis in a speciality chemical manufacturing company environment are key to ASG being able to respond quickly to the most challenging problems.

Typical problems encountered include product failure, unknown contaminants, performance differences between production batches, product variability, product fouling and patent infringements.

Examples of materials studied include adhesives, resins, plastics, dyes, polymers, gases and liquids.

Examples of products studies include chemical intermediates and products, formulated product and liquid formulations, industrial goods such as coated metal and plastic substrates and plastic components.

Intertek ASG has a broad technology base staffed by experienced chemists, and is in a position to apply a range of testing solutions to any problem. If the best technical approach is not available within the ASG laboratory, it is highly likely that it is available in another quality Intertek facility.

Intertek ASG takes a proven approach to problem solving starting with a thorough discussion of the problem, and a timely solution proposal, including quoted up-front costs. Project management is tailored to the customer need and we are able to work to short timescales with same-day analysis for urgent, courier-delivered samples.
