Chicago-based weathering testing specialist Atlas Material Testing Technology has established a strategic alliance with Aspen Research Corporation to provide product analysis and consulting.
Aspen is an experienced scientific research company with a staff of 100 scientists, consultants and specialists in a variety of disciplines including chemistry, physics and statistics.
According to Atlas, the goal of the alliance is to enable customers to obtain science-based direction on product improvement, after testing their materials with Atlas. "Together, Atlas and Aspen represent a total solution for weathering customers," said Larry Masters, President and CEO of Atlas. "Atlas handles the front end through state-of-the-art testing, while Aspen provides the critical follow-through, including specific recommendations on product development to remedy any issues uncovered during testing."
Aspen has extensive experience in evaluating the durability of many types of materials - especially polymeric items. Operating from a major facility in St. Paul, Minnesota, Aspen possesses analytical chemical instrumentation and processing equipment.
