Mechanical Testing Equipment
Strength & Durability

Mechanical Properties Analysis

Verify your plastic components meet OEM mechanical specifications. Our advanced testing equipment measures tensile strength, impact resistance, elongation, and hardness to ensure structural integrity and performance under real-world driving conditions.

  • Tensile Strength Testing – Breakdown force analysis
  • Impact Resistance – Izod & Charpy testing
  • Hardness Measurement – Shore & Rockwell scales
  • Elongation & Flexibility – Material compliance testing
Heat Resistance

Thermal Stability & Heat Aging

Under-hood and engine bay components face extreme temperatures. Our thermal testing simulates prolonged heat exposure, thermal cycling, and temperature fluctuations to ensure your plastic parts maintain mechanical properties and dimensional stability in harsh automotive environments.

  • Heat Aging Analysis – Long-term temperature exposure
  • Thermal Cycling – Rapid temperature changes
  • Glass Transition Temperature – Material limits assessment
  • Dimensional Stability – Shrinkage & warping measurement

Chemical Resistance Testing
Fluid Compatibility

Chemical Resistance Analysis

Fuel tank components, filler neck assemblies, and engine bay parts must withstand exposure to fuel, oil, coolant, and various automotive fluids. Our chemical resistance testing ensures your plastic materials remain compatible and maintain performance when exposed to these harsh fluids.

  • Fuel Compatibility – Gasoline & E10/E85 testing
  • Oil Resistance – Engine & hydraulic oil exposure
  • Coolant Testing – Antifreeze & additive compatibility
  • Stress Crack Resistance – Chemical stress analysis
Safety Compliance

Flammability & Fire Safety Testing

Interior trim components must meet strict flammability standards. Our flammability testing ensures your plastic materials meet UL 94, ASTM, and ISO regulations, providing safety compliance and fire resistance for interior automotive applications including dashboards, headliners, and door panels.

  • UL 94 Vertical Burn Test – Flame resistance classification
  • Horizontal Burn Test – Flame spread measurement
  • Smoke & Toxicity Testing – Emission analysis
  • FMvss 302 Compliance – Federal motor vehicle standards

Physical and Chemical Analysis
Material Composition

Physical & Chemical Composition Analysis

Understand your plastic material composition, density, molecular structure, and additives. Our advanced analytical techniques identify material specifications, contamination, degradation products, and ensure batch-to-batch consistency for quality control and compliance verification.

  • FTIR Spectroscopy – Material identification
  • Density & Specific Gravity – Physical properties
  • Additive Analysis – Stabilizers & fillers detection
  • Contamination Detection – Purity verification
