For in-vitro testing, Alliance Technologies is equipped to perform Corrositex, a dermal corrosion testing assay, that is accepted or approved by a large number of regulatory agencies. Corrositex has also been accepted to identify non-corrosives and skin corrosive subcategories 1A, 1B, and 1C by the GHS; other agencies that accept and approve Corrositex include DOT, EPA, EU/OECD, European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM), OSHA, FDA, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Transport Canada, and IATA as a replacement for Draize testing. Corrositex determines chemical corrosivity and permits assignment of U.N. Packing Group classification/GHS categories for Class 8 corrosives.

This test replaces the rabbit test of dermal corrosivity by providing a reliable means of mimicking this test.
Alliance has a comprehensive array of analytical instrumentation to provide an understanding of the chemistry or chemical processes. Contact Alliance Technologies today to address your corrosion testing and failure analysis needs.

Alliance Technologies provides a wealth of experience and a number of services to understand modes of failure in your production line or product. Microscopic examination for stress, strain, and failure is often the first step to understanding why a material broke, cracked, or disintegrated. Identifying chemicals or contaminants responsible for embrittlement or corrosion using surface infrared or x-ray spectroscopy can often be the key to understanding the source of failure.
