Preventing Failures in Polybutene-1 Pipe with GPC Testing

Preventing Failures in Polybutene-1 Pipe with GPC Testing


Polybutene-1 (PB-1) is widely used in pressurised water systems but can suffer from oxidative degradation, leading to pipe failure and costly incidents.

Smithers' Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) testing provides accurate molecular weight analysis, helping you assess the condition of PB-1 materials before failure occurs.

By identifying degradation early, GPC testing can prevent expensive repairs and ensure long-term system reliability.

Download our full case study below to learn how Smithers’ GPC testing can help you mitigate risks and ensure the performance of your PB-1 pipes.
