Wearables & Biocompatibility
How do we help clients create safer, more resilient, compliance-based consumer products?
Polymer-based components are incorporated into consumer products and packaging at multiple stages of the product lifecycle. Exponent assists clients in choosing and formulating the right polymer products through every stage — from product ideation, design, and manufacturing to regulatory compliance, durability assessment, intellectual property protection, product recalls, and sustainability and recycling.
We combine our knowledge of polymers with a practical understanding of all aspects of chemistry, structure, processing, and properties to help clients make informed product development decisions. We support material vendor selection, production facility inspections, and health and safety assessments of the impacts of polymer and composite materials on workers, consumers, and the environment.
