Accredited Styrene Monomer Testing
AGT Labs provides professional Styrene Testing Services to verify the quality of Styrene Monomer (SM). Our Houston laboratory uses ISO/IEC 17025 accredited methods for copper corrosion by industrial aromatic hydrocarbons (ASTM D849), color, acidity, nonvolatile matter, sulfur compounds, refractive index and odor.
Our Styrene Testing Services support polymer manufacturers, resin plants, and marine cargo surveyors with accredited technical data. Whether verifying feedstock for Polystyrene (PS) production or checking bulk cargo quality, we offer the precise results needed to ensure product performance and safe handling.
