You are...

Are you an engineer, a contractor or owner of various industrial installations and constructions, in which polymer materials are used? Then you know that it is important to avoid leakages or damages to your products. For instance glass reinforced pipes should not break due to high bending loads. Also leakages of seals can easy lead to high costing damage. For other parts it goes that after building they might not be able to be reached or replaced and therefore failure should be avoided completely. This can be during the design stage, an evaluation or application and use stage of industrial installations where polymer materials are involved. Different stages in buildings, at production sites, in utilities or energy plants. But also piping systems in industry for example.
