Mechanical Testing

As part of our material testing laboratory in Chennai capability, we perform tensile testing (ASTM D638), flexural testing (ASTM D790), impact testing (ASTM D256), hardness testing, and compression testing to evaluate strength, stiffness, toughness, and deformation resistance.

Thermal Analysis

Our material testing laboratory in Chennai runs Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC per ASTM E1356), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA per ASTM E1131), and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) to determine glass transition temperature, melting point, and thermal stability.

Rheological Testing

We assess flow behavior and processability using melt flow rate (MFR per ASTM D1238) and melt viscosity measurement, helping you optimize processing conditions for molding and extrusion.

Chemical Analysis

Our chemical characterization at this material testing laboratory in Chennai uses FTIR spectroscopy (per ASTM E1252) to detect and quantify additives, fillers, stabilizers, and contaminants — ensuring regulatory compliance and product safety.

Thermal Stability and Aging

We evaluate long-term durability through accelerated aging tests (per ASTM D573/D3045) and UV exposure, predicting real-world degradation, color change, and mechanical property loss over time.

Morphological Analysis

Our Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM per ASTM E986) and optical microscopy techniques at our material testing laboratory in Chennai reveal microstructure, filler dispersion, and surface defects at high resolution.

Mechanical Testing

We perform a wide range of mechanical tests to evaluate the mechanical properties of plastic materials. These tests include tensile testing, flexural testing, impact testing, hardness testing, and compression testing. By analyzing the mechanical behavior of plastics, we can assess their strength, stiffness, toughness, and resistance to deformation.

These mechanical evaluations are part of our comprehensive material testing approach, ensuring that your products meet industry standards.

Thermal Analysis

Our thermal analysis techniques allow us to study the thermal properties and behavior of plastic materials. We conduct tests such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) to determine parameters like glass transition temperature (Tg), melting point, thermal stability, and coefficient of thermal expansion.

Through our thorough material testing, we ensure that your products maintain thermal integrity under various conditions.

Rheological Testing

Rheological testing helps us understand the flow behavior and processing characteristics of plastic materials. We perform tests such as melt flow rate (MFR) and melt viscosity measurement to assess the melt flow properties, melt index, and processability of plastics. These insights are valuable for optimizing processing conditions and predicting material behavior during molding or extrusion processes.

Understanding the rheological properties through material testing allows for better design and processing of your products.

Chemical Analysis

We conduct chemical analysis to evaluate the chemical composition and identify additives in plastic materials. Our analytical techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), enable us to detect and quantify additives, fillers, stabilizers, and contaminants present in the plastic matrix.

Our chemical analysis as part of material testing ensures compliance with regulatory standards and enhances product safety.

Thermal Stability and Aging

We assess the thermal stability and aging behavior of plastic materials to evaluate their long-term performance and durability. Accelerated aging tests, such as thermal aging and UV exposure, can simulate real-world conditions and predict the material's resistance to degradation, color change, and mechanical property loss over time.

Our material testing focuses on long-term durability, helping you predict material performance in real-world applications.

Morphological Analysis

Our microscopy and imaging techniques allow us to examine the microstructure and morphology of plastic materials. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Optical Microscopy provide detailed insights into material surface characteristics, filler dispersion, and the presence of defects or contaminants.

By integrating material testing into your development process, you can significantly improve the quality and reliability of your products.
