Polymer materials in construction, building and infrastructure

Polymers are widely used in construction, building and infrastructure.  Your clients have to be sure that they can rely on the well functioning of the products in which polymers are used. For instance wall panels that are mounted on large buildings should not break and fall down unexpectedly. Kiwa can help you to set up specifications and test programs for polymer material products.

You are...

Are you an architect, a contractor or owner of various building  and civil works and you work with constructions where polymer materials are involved?  You know better then anyone that polymers are widely used in construction, building and infrastructure. Construction and utility parts in buildings are often partly or completely polymeric or elastomeric products. This can be as wall panels, roofing materials, piping systems, seals, coatings and a large number of other products. 

For all these products it goes that they need to be suitable for their application and that you have to be sure that you can rely on the well functioning. For instance wall panels that are mounted on large buildings should not break and fall down unexpectedly. Also leakages of seals can easy lead to high costing damage. For other parts like foils or bearings it goes that after building they might not be able to be reached or replaced and therefore failure should be avoided completely.

Your own set up specification and test program

To help setting up specifications and test programs for polymer material products in such applications our polymers experts can assist you. We have the knowledge and the facilities to set things up and to carry them out for you. Good to know that Kiwa is a partner for independent testing, certification and quality related services regarding plastic and rubber materials.

  • Polymer materials, testing of chemical resistance

    Plastocs and rubbers are frequently used in applications where contact with chemicals, gases, detergents or oils are intended or cannot be avoided. The resistance of the polymer materials to these substances must therefore be known before such an application is considered.

  • Polymer materials, testing of weathering resistance

    Plastics are often used out- or indoors exposed to daylight or to daylight behind glass for long periods. The effects of daylight, heat, moisture and other climatic stresses may have influence on the aesthetic and mechanical properties of plastics and for that reason the resistance to these effects is investigated.
