COMPANY PROFILE
STAFF
ASSOCIATES
Plastics Engineering Laboratories is a group of mechanical,
electrical, optical, and chemical engineers with over a century of experience
in developing plastic products and helping establish them in the marketplace.
During our 20-plus years in business, we've helped clients of all sizes develop
a variety of products — from garbage bags and paint buckets to jet-engine
o-rings and safety syringes; from fiber-optic connectors to sigmoidoscopes and
endoscopes.
PELabs provides outsourced design, development, and engineering assistance to
product designers and managers. We can flexibly plug into the lifecycle of a
product at any stage:
- Conception
- Design
- Development

- Qualification
- Production
- Service

PELabs' resources include:
- a broadly experienced, well-educated engineering STAFF
- advanced CAD/CAE software expertise
- full-service plastics testing capacity
- ready access to manufacturing capability through our affiliate, The Plastics Group
- a pool of ASSOCIATES from a wide range of backgrounds in commercial and industrial product development
PELabs engineers utilize their knowledge of polymer behavior to determine what
is important in a given situation. Plastics are unique: When tabulated in a
manufacturer's data sheet, their physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and
optical property values are just a snapshot of a spectrum of the
material-property values at one set of testing conditions.
For example, Young's modulus (the "elastic" modulus) is a function of
temperature, rate, and duration of loading. Young's modulus can also vary with
a product's moisture content. Similarly, Izod impact strength depends on
testing temperature, geometry of the notch in the specimen, thickness, and
other variables.
Such phenomena can be treated in a common framework for analytical purposes. By
applying our knowledge of and experience with that framework, and combining
both traditional analytical tools and modern CAE software with laboratory
testing, PELabs develops highly reliable products.
