K-Extreme delivers a data-driven Survivability Index after extreme events including blast, fire, HPHT surge, radiation, and thermal shock. K-Flash handles decomposition and ablation, while K-Fail predicts remaining useful life.

What Is Post-Event Polymer & Component Durability?
Extreme events change polymer properties through thermal degradation, radiation damage, mechanical shock, and chemical exposure. Each mechanism can degrade different properties at different rates.
Current practice is either to replace everything after an extreme event or assume everything survived—both costly or unsafe. K-Extreme provides a physics-based, per-component Survivability Index with documented confidence.
Damage is often invisible at the surface. A polymer seal may look intact after a fire while losing significant elongation-at-break and sealing force due to surface oxidation and DLO-accelerated core degradation. Visual inspection cannot detect this internal damage.
What You Get From ElastoSure
Output
Survivability Index
What It Tells You
Probability component remains within ALL specification limits post-event, with confidence interval
Decision Enabled
Replace decision from probability, not assumption. Defensible to DOD, NRC, FAA, or program manager.
Property retention map
Probability component remains within ALL specification limits post-event, with confidence interval
Identify which part of the component is most degraded -- target NDT inspection there
Return-to-service recommendation
Continue full service / conditional service (with next inspection date) / replace
Single actionable output with documented physics-based justification for audit trail
Post-event RUL (K-Fail)
Remaining useful life of the component in its post-event degraded state
Set conditional return-to-service timeline -- not indefinite, not immediate replacement
K-Flash event severity (if applicable)
Depth of pyrolysis, ablation loss, char layer thickness from the rapid event
Quantify actual material loss from fire or blast before assessing structural integrity
