Materials Testing

Xinbodi supports testing for a wide range of industrial materials, products and unknown samples, including polymers, plastics, rubbers, elastomers, resins, composites, coatings, adhesives, metals, battery materials, specialty chemicals, powders, fillers and more.
If your material is not listed, send us the sample type and testing goal. Our team can confirm whether it can be analyzed and recommend an appropriate testing approach.

You do not need to choose the testing method yourself.

Tell us:

• what the sample is
• what problem you are trying to solve
• what property or composition information you need
• whether you have a reference, good sample or failed sample

Our technical team can then recommend a suitable combination of chemical, mechanical, thermal, physical or structural testing.

Yes. Unknown materials can often be investigated through a combination of chemical composition analysis, spectroscopy, microscopy, elemental analysis, thermal analysis and other characterization methods.

Depending on the sample, testing may help identify:

• polymer or resin type
• metals or inorganic phases
• fillers and additives
• contaminants or residues
• unknown particles or foreign materials

For complex unknowns, multiple techniques may be required.

Yes. Materials testing can include chemical composition analysis to identify major and minor ingredients, polymers, additives, fillers, metals, impurities and other relevant components.

Depending on the project, the analysis may also include quantitative testing, additive analysis, elemental analysis or comparison between two materials.

The cost depends on sample complexity, the number of samples, required detection limits, analytical methods, and whether the project involves qualitative identification, quantitative measurement, or comparative analysis.

For multi-technique materials testing projects, pricing typically starts from several thousand US dollars and may increase for complex formulations, trace-level testing, extensive sample preparation, or multiple comparison samples.

A tailored scope and quotation are prepared after reviewing the sample information, analytical objective, and required deliverables.

Sample requirements depend on the product type, formulation complexity and analytical methods required.

As a general guideline, about 100mL for liquid samples or about 10g for solid samples is often sufficient for many projects.

For complex, limited or unusual samples, please contact Xinbodi’s engineers before shipment so we can confirm the recommended sample quantity.

Yes. Our materials testing services can support polymers, engineering plastics, films, molded parts, resins, elastomers and related materials.

Projects may involve:

• chemical composition
• additives and fillers
• thermal behavior
• mechanical properties
• material identification
• degradation
• failure analysis
• competitor or formulation comparison

Usually not unless our team gives specific instructions.

If the project involves contamination, residue, surface defects or failure analysis, do not clean or alter the sample before consultation, because this may remove useful evidence.

For some projects, sample cutting, extraction, digestion, polishing or other preparation will be performed in the laboratory.

Yes.

Common comparison projects include:

Supplier A vs. Supplier B
Old batch vs. new batch
Good sample vs. failed sample
Your product vs. competitor product

We focus on identifying meaningful differences in ingredients, additives, fillers, impurities, elemental composition or other relevant characteristics.

We provide more than raw testing data.

Depending on the project, our technical team can help interpret composition differences, identify possible formulation or material issues, compare raw materials and support:

• formulation adjustment
• raw-material selection
• small-scale formulation trials
• product optimization
• scale-up and production considerations

The goal is to help clients move from analytical results to practical R&D and manufacturing decisions.

Yes. All samples, formulation information, test data, and project details are handled confidentially. Xinbodi can sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with clients before the project starts to protect proprietary formulations and sensitive R&D information.
