Plastic Failure Lab's testing laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.  Our main affiliate laboratory is ISO-9000 certified.  Our affiliate laboratory that performs ASTM plastic pipe pressure testing is also UL registered. 

Because our experts have extensive background in all areas of plastics, they can research and report the vital facts in any litigation involving the failure of plastic materials including PVC, CPVC, Nylon, PP, PE, PS, PC, PET, rubber, coatings, adhesives, and composite materials.  

Our lead failure expert (Dr. Duane Priddy) is highly recognized for his scientific contributions to the science of plastic materials.  Two of Dr. Priddy's papers; "Why Plastics Fail" and "Why Plastic Pipes Fail" are available for Download. 

Our team of experts analyze and research every aspect of plastic failure including the manufacturing process to determine whether the cause of failure is due to product design, improper processing procedure, material handling, or contamination.  Dr. Priddy's personal involvement in the investigations gives him the ability to report not only the facts, but the procedures used to obtain those facts. 

Since Dr. Priddy is a world-renowned Scientist and author (as evidenced by >100 scientific papers, >60 US Patents, a book, and encyclopedia articles on plastics), his Failure Analysis reports are meticulously written and scientifically accurate as evidenced by many client testimonials.  Please feel free to contact any of our references.
