When you need chemical testing or product testing due to quality, failure or formulation problems, Chemir can help. Our independent contract laboratory provides analytical services such as deformulation (reverse engineering), contaminant identification, failure analysis and litigation support.

Chemir Analytical Services offers consumer product and industrial testing as well as customized chemical analysis to answer questions such as

• What is this unknown material?
• What is causing this product failure?
• Can we identify the source of contamination?
• Why is my competitor’s product performing better?
• Can we deformulate this product?
• What is causing our batch to batch variations?

We ask the right questions, listen to our customers and solve problems for the personal care, food & beverage, plastics & polymers, packaging industries, and more.
