CHEMISTRY & CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Many complex factors come into play during an incident or claim event, and they are not always visible to the naked eye or by simple visual inspection! This holds true especially for cases involving analytical testing, organic or inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, or petrochemicals. In these circumstances, expertise in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering provides a definite edge.
Moreover, when the “recipe” of a product is at stake – particularly in product liability cases – it is essential to determine, on a scientific basis, whether it’s the choice of materials (chemistry) or the preparation method (chemical engineering) that is deficient.
Our team of chemistry and chemical engineering experts cover various specialties in chemical testing and analysis, and they constantly help our clients in matters regarding O&C of a failure, performance issues, fire, explosion and more.

AN EXPERTISE INFORMED BY THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES
In our state-of-the-art and ISO certified laboratories, or with the help of our business partners, our specialized team can help you in several ways:
- By determining the presence or absence of a chemical compound as well as its concentration
- By scientifically confirming or rejecting a hypothesis
- By analyzing the composition, properties and chemical changes of an element/substance
- By carrying out instrumental analysis (with external collaboration when required)
- By conducting various types of physico-chemical testing: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray spectroscopy, gas chromatography (GC-MS), calorimetry, etc.
Our chemical and engineering experts can shed light on spontaneous combustion, explosion, material oxidation or degradation, product performance and quality, and much more!
SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Does the composition of a product meet the required standards? Has the manufacturing process affected product integrity or quality causing issues such as degradation, low yield, reduction of mechanical properties or something else? Trust our forensic investigators to answer your questions!
To trace the chain reactions and chemical aspects that caused an incident, our experts can study chemical interactions, as well as the compatibility of various compounds.
Rely on our team of certified chemists and chemical engineers to trace the origin and cause of an incident. Take advantage of their many areas of specialization, such as solvents and solutions, paints and adhesives, polymers, petroleum products and materials characterization.
