Testing Methods
by K & N Labs 

Our proprietary method allows for total dissolution of the polymer to ensure complete extraction of organic additives for analysis, including high molecular HALS additives. Our extensive in-house library, along with NIST and FDM databases, aid us in specializing in identifying additives and other components in the sample. With a wide range of analytical techniques available, you can trust our lab can help you get the answers you need.
