Getting the answer to that question should make materials/product testing a more critical junction in the manufacturing stream.But Mary Stellmack,senior research chemist with McCrone Associates (Westmont,IL),says that typically processors wait until there's a problem before having materials analyzed.In other words,processors or their OEM customers only test when there's a problem in the field such as a failure of a part.By that time,the damage is done.
