In addition to providing certification and testing for American Elements' own materials, our laboratory has for many years provided contract testing for customers on an out sourced basis. Customers as large as Fortune 100 companies have found it is less expensive and quicker to allow us to perform analysis than establish their own testing facilities. As materials experts, we can provide guidance on test methods and procedures to fully test not just the chemical and physical properties, but also the performance capabilities of materials. The following analytical capabilities are available on a one time or contract basis. Since our laboratory is primarily dedicated to our own products, we usually maintain capacity for quick turn around analysis and we charge significantly less than Contract Laboratories.
