Glass Analysis and Failure Investigation

Understanding what has caused glass to fail and why is imperative to creating a resilient glass product and process. LPD Lab Services is very well experienced in glass failure analysis as well as a general deformulation to find the composition of a glass. Our experienced analysts can also consult on what actions to take in order to prevent failures. A brief selection of the work undertaken by LPD Lab Services is shown below:Glass Materials Analysis

  • Toughened glass failure due to Nickel Sulphide inclusions confirmed by SEM/EDX
  • Failure investigation of shower panel.
  • Source of contamination of laser optics.
  • Confirmation of antique glass formulation.
  • Foreign object investigation in returned product.
  • Glass bulk composition.
  • Fine glass contamination analysis in products and processes by SEM/EDX.
  • Pump wear damage from glass fragments in recirculated water system.
  • Analysis and identification of smear or oily layer build up of automotive and glazed windows by XPS and solvent extract GC-MS. 
  • Heads Up Display/HUD coating analysis
