A plastic that softens too early, a polymer that degrades at processing temperature, a part that warps under load: these thermal problems decide whether a product survives in real use. A dependable NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai gives manufacturers the melting, stability and heat-resistance data they need to develop, qualify and troubleshoot with confidence.
At Kiyo R&D Lab, we run thermal analysis and heat-resistance tests under one roof and report the results against the applicable standard. Our team combines NABL-aligned methods with expert interpretation, so your decisions rest on evidence, not guesswork.
Your guide to thermal testing at Kiyo R&D Lab
Thermal tests show how a material behaves as it heats up, from the temperature where it melts or softens to the point where it begins to break down. A capable NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai turns those curves into practical answers: whether a grade will process cleanly, whether a part will hold its shape in service, and whether a batch matches the approved material.
The table below shows the core thermal tests and what each one reveals. Exact methods and limits follow the standard you name or your customer specification.
| Test | What It Reveals |
|---|---|
| DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) | Melting, crystallisation & glass transition |
| TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) | Thermal stability & filler content |
| HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature) | Shape retention under load & heat |
| Vicat softening point | Temperature at which the material softens |
| Oven heat aging | Property and colour change after long heat exposure |
Each result is reported against the applicable standard, giving a traceable record. Choosing a NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai that runs these tests together means one sample, one point of contact and one integrated report.
When a problem needs DSC to explain melting behaviour and TGA to confirm composition, splitting the work across several labs causes delays and mismatched reports. Working with one NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai keeps the whole investigation consistent and shortens development cycles.
Accreditation is method-specific, so we confirm which of your tests fall within our NABL scope before you commit. For material identification and mechanical data alongside thermal work, see our plastic testing laboratory page.
From formulation to failure analysis, good decisions start with good data. As a trusted NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai, Kiyo R&D Lab brings DSC, TGA, HDT, Vicat and heat-aging tests together under one roof, backed by ASTM/ISO methods and NABL-accredited reporting where applicable.
Tell us your material and the thermal question you need answered. Our team will build the right test plan and get you defensible results from a NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai that you can rely on.

Our NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai works to recognised methods such as ISO 11357 (DSC), ISO 11358 (TGA), ISO 75 / ASTM D648 (HDT) and ISO 306 / ASTM D1525 (Vicat). Accredited reporting is available for methods within our NABL scope; we confirm the exact status for your test before you commit.
NABL accreditation is granted for specific tests and methods, not for a whole lab automatically. A lab qualifies when the thermal methods you need are within its accredited scope, so always confirm that your exact test is covered.
Yes. A single submission can be routed through DSC, TGA, HDT and Vicat testing, and you receive one integrated report, the main advantage of a consolidated lab.
Yes. As a full-service NABL thermal testing lab in Chennai, we combine thermal data with structured failure analysis to find the material, the failure mode and the likely root cause, not just confirm that a part failed.
Most routine thermal tests complete within days, while long heat-aging runs take longer by design. We confirm the timeline after reviewing your sample and method.
