Chemical Analysis
We understand that the chemical analysis of materials is viral in understanding their behaviours. R-TECH Materials is an accredited testing laboratory with vast experience in chemical analysis techniques, we can provide you with accurate results. Get in touch with us today to find out more!
The R-TECH Materials Laboratories can provide a comprehensive suite of chemical analysis techniques and where we cannot complete the test in-house, we have key partners in place so that we can provide a quick-turnaround of results.
Analysis of the chemical make-up of materials is vital in understanding a material’s properties and behaviour in service. This is true for all materials and for many of our clients their materials, components or products will have to meet detailed specifications on the chemical properties of the material in use.
A myriad of destructive and non-destructive techniques exists to analyse the chemical properties of materials. These techniques tend to vary greatly for non-metallics and metallics and there is often skill in identifying the correct technique for a given process or material.
