Jay Anderson

Jay's expertise consists of the analysis of physical properties of all non-metallic materials including plastics, thin films, rubber, foam, organic and inorganic coatings, adhesives and sealants, ceramics, fabrics, engineered wood, and composites. 

Jay is a licensed Materials Scientist specializing in material testing, validation and failure analysis for fractography, metallography, physical property testing, electron microscopy, and chemical analysis methods.

His project experience includes the following:

• Tensile, compression, tear, and flexural testing of all materials
• Hardness testing of all materials
• Abrasion resistance testing
• Coefficient of friction testing
• Linear expansion testing
• Flammability testing
• Impact testing
• Vapor transmission testing
• Physical properties of foams and engineered wood products
• Environmental simulation
• Adhesion and shear testing
• Color and gloss measurement and analysis
• Failure analysis
• Corrosion analysis
• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
• Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)
• Metallography & fractography
• Product testing
