Plastics and Rubber Industry

Reduce material costs and manufacture your materials, components and finished products to a consistently superior quality.

Conform to industry standards and achieve regulatory compliance e.g. ASTM, EN, ISO.

Our test solutions for plastics and rubber testing applications include:

• 3-point bend testing to identify flexural properties of plastics
• Adhesion / peel testing of plastic labels, ID and credit cards
• Coefficient of friction testing of plastic film and sheeting
• Compression testing of plastic foams
• Measurement of "slip torque" & "bridge torque" on tamper-evident closures
• Measuring the elongation/return characteristics of plastics, rubber and elastomers
• Pull-off and insertion/withdrawal testing of plastic fasteners
• Release and application torque testing of plastic closures
• Tensile and material strength testing of rubber, plastics and elastomers
  • Conveyor belts
  • Gaskets and o-rings
  • Rubber and plastic flooring
  • Shoe soles
  • Tyres
• Top-load testing of plastic containers e.g. PET bottles
