Lab Facilities

We have established a good relationship with our numerous test equipment suppliers, and we plan to continue to expand our testing capabilities in the future. We hope to introduce additional test equipment that will further improve our ability to evaluate the performance and processing characteristics of our compounds, as well as supporting our customers in the test results that they require.

Provided they meet our stringent quality control requirements, batches that require additional testing are then sent to our specification testing area. We regularly test compounds to AMS, DTD, MIL, BS, ASTM D2000 and Def Stan specifications. If you require testing to industry specific specifications or prefer to use your own internal specifications, we can add them to our system.

The test equipment used in this area includes: Tensometers, Compression set jigs, Ozone cabinet, Gehman torsional stiffness (Low Temperature), Non-brittle (Low Temperature) and ovens for accelerated ageing and fluid immersion tests.

Compound development, raw material evaluation and product validation are other very important aspects of our business. This is another area where our testing facilities are regularly utilised to improve and validate compounds to ensure we are using the highest quality raw materials and polymers. We are able to use our TGA and FTIR to help with our validation process.
