Plastics Engineering Laboratories (PEL) was started in 1981 to design and engineer plastic component parts for a wide range of industries.  Very early on it was discovered that not only did the market demand this type of work but also analysis, consulting, and testing.  So today PEL performs a wide range of work based on client needs.

Visit www.PELabs.com for complete details on our engineering and testing services.

Here is but a partial list of the work that is performed:

• ASTM Testing          
• Custom Testing
• Engineering
• Product Development
• Impact - Stress Relaxation - Creep - Chemical  -  Thermal
• Product and Material Qualifications
• Detective Work

This last item - Detective Work - covers a very wide range of services but what it comes down to is problem solving.

• Why does this part fail and how do we fix it?

• Why is this screw boss not working?

• Can I switch to a lower cost resin and still have the product perform properly?

The type of equipment the laboratory uses complements product development projects as well as production quality issues.

Testing Machines                             

Environmental Chambers

Metrology Instrumentation     

Flammability Chambers

Pressure Testing Equipment                      

Vacuum and Aging Ovens 

The 20 years of data that PEL has developed allows them to quickly get in and establish a plan of action to arrive at solutions to problems.  The years of working in a production environment also means that the solutions will take into consideration production requirements, thus being usable to our clients.
