Total Quality Management

AMETEK Westchester Plastics has the experienced personnel, facilities and knowledge to handle any compounding requirement. We start by working with a customer's technical team in producing pilot scale quantities for evaluation and testing prior to actual full production.

- Ash content analysis
- Colormetric analysis

- Infrared spectrometry
- Specific gravity
- Deformation temp. under load (DTUL)

At Westchester Plastics, we also maintain laboratory scale injection molding, blow molding and blown film equipment to qualify finished product in accordance with prescribed standards of functional performance.
