Tensile Strength
The maximum pulling force a material withstands before breaking. One of the most important tests for plastics, rubber, films, sheets, composites, and metals — it shows whether a material survives stretching or pulling in real use.
Materials Testing Services
How a material behaves under force, pressure, bending, impact, and repeated loading determines whether it is fit for the product it is made for. We test for the answers manufacturers cannot see from the outside.
Mechanical properties are the characteristics that reveal a material’s real strength, flexibility, durability, hardness, and failure behavior. Testing is essential across plastics, rubber, polymers, composites, metals, coatings, packaging, automotive parts, electrical components, and medical device materials.

The maximum pulling force a material withstands before breaking. One of the most important tests for plastics, rubber, films, sheets, composites, and metals — it shows whether a material survives stretching or pulling in real use.
How far a material stretches before it breaks. A higher value means more flexibility or ductility — key for rubber, flexible plastics, films, packaging, and medical-grade polymers.
Resistance to bending — how much load a material takes before it bends or breaks. Useful for plastic sheets, molded components, composites, automotive parts, and rigid materials.
Stiffness during bending. A high modulus means a stiff material; a low value means it flexes more. Critical when choosing materials for structural or load-bearing applications.
How much crushing pressure a material survives. Important for foams, rubber parts, plastic components, packaging, construction materials, and molded products.
The ability to resist sudden shock. Shows whether a product cracks, breaks, or absorbs energy when hit. Common methods: Izod and Charpy impact.
Surface resistance to indentation or penetration — soft, medium, or rigid. Measured by Shore A, Shore D, Rockwell, and Barcol depending on the material.
Resistance to tearing — mainly for rubber, flexible plastics, films, sheets, textiles, and elastomers that face pulling, stretching, or repeated movement.
How well a material resists wear from rubbing, friction, or surface contact. Important for rubber products, coatings, automotive parts, footwear, industrial sheets, and moving components.
The slipperiness or friction behavior of a surface — how easily one surface slides over another. Relevant for films, packaging, rubber, plastic sheets, flooring, and coated surfaces.
How slowly a material deforms under a constant load over a long time. Important for plastic and polymer components used under continuous stress.
Performance under repeated loading and unloading — used to predict product life and durability for automotive parts, engineering plastics, rubber components, and load-bearing products.
Mechanical testing is a method used to check how a material behaves when force, pressure, bending, stretching, impact, friction, or compression is applied. It helps to understand the strength, flexibility, hardness, toughness, durability, and performance of a material.
Mechanical testing is important because it helps manufacturers confirm whether a material or product is suitable for real use. It supports raw material approval, quality control, product development, failure analysis, supplier comparison, customer approval, and standard compliance.
Mechanical testing can be done for plastics, rubber, polymers, composites, metals, films, sheets, foams, coatings, adhesives, packaging materials, automotive parts, electrical components, and medical device materials.
Common mechanical tests include tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural strength, flexural modulus, compressive strength, impact strength, hardness, tear strength, abrasion resistance, coefficient of friction, creep testing, and fatigue testing.
