Since 1987, Polymer Solutions (PSI) has been answering difficult questions regarding polymers, plastics, and composites.
From our home in Blacksburg, Virginia, we partner with our clients from around the world to solve and prevent their most complex problems through chemical analysis, physical testing and consultation.
At Polymer Solutions, we believe the clearest path to a superior solution is an open mind. We’ve assembled an accomplished group of scientific thinkers and equipped them with a diverse array of advanced technology, allowing them to tackle any challenge from routine procedures to the most complex problem.
We are independent by design. Our test results reflect our best science and our love for solving problems. Our results are sound, objective, and sometimes even envied. In the past 26 years our testing capabilities have continued to evolve and expand. We offer analysis of metallic materials in addition to polymer materials. Our laboratory capabilities include chromatography, metals testing, microscopy, spectroscopy, wet chemistry, titrations, liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography.
In April 2014 we broke ground on a brand new state-of-the-art laboratory and testing facility in Christiansburg, Virginia. This new facility will create additional space for our growing staff and growing testing capabilities and associated instrumentation. With this expansion we are expecting the creation of at least 5 new jobs. It is an exciting time for our company as we eagerly anticipate our new home. This location is prime and strategic in many senses. We will be in close proximity to the Virginia Tech Campus and situated in a strong technology community; simultaneously we will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We will be located only minutes off of Interstate 81, making visits to our facility easy and accessible. Thanks to FedEx and UPS, we are only “tomorrow” away from most clients in North America and the rest of the world is just a day or so away.
We firmly believe in working hard and also "playing" hard. At PSI we embrace life and enjoy our work.

We used Polymer solutions to determine if an elastomer fiber was being affected by e-beam sterilization. Their scientist worked with us to design a controlled study, develop the protocol and performed all of the testing and analysis. They were able to provide us with extremely valuable information regarding the effects that e-beam was having on our material.
Strengths: Polymer Solutions have a wide range of polymer testing and analysis capabilities. They can perform reology tests, DSC, failure analysis, FTIR and much more. They have polymer experts on their staff and most of them have Ph.Ds.
Needs to improve: Their services can be pricey but well worth it.
Our company contracted Polymer solutions to do material testing for our R&D Division. We had a client request to determine whether a particular solution was damaging components. The team at Polymer was able to customize a study which yielded quality and accurate results. Customer service resp were easy to reach and happily kept us updated throughout the whole process. Their scientists are top notch and the lead time was rather quick given the requirements. Will happily contract again!
Strengths: product quality, expert staff, lead time, accurate results
