Welcome to the Alpharetta Polymer Characterization Laboratories
Site Location: 4500 McGinnis Ferry Road, Alpharetta, Georgia United States
Elena Krumenaker - Materials Technology Manager Polymer Characterization Laboratories
Kassandra Antonion- Material Characterization Team Lead & Customer Care PCL
Crystal Bustion - Customer Care PCL Outside Testing Coordinator

Our Purpose is to build a strong partnership with our customers assuring a competent and timely support and anticipating needs by providing innovative analytical approaches. We also are active in our local community giving a helping hand when needed.

Polymer Characterization Laboratories (PCL) are fully integrated in the Syensqo Analytical Network
Besides international ASTM/ISO references, proprietary methods are developed and applies for structural characterization and testing of the whole GBU product portfolio (Fluoropolymers, Aromatics, Composites).
Standard and complex analysis are provided with a multi-techniques approach aimed to investigate material compositions, support research development and understand the performance of materials in their final applications.
