Will your insulating material actually insulate — and can you prove it? For plastics, rubber, coatings, and electronic components, electrical behaviour decides whether a part is safe, compliant, and fit for use. electrical property testing measures how a material resists current, withstands voltage, and behaves in an electric field. Kiyo R&D Lab tests the electrical properties of your materials to recognised standards, with accurate data and clear reporting.
From insulators and cables to plastics, elastomers, and coatings, our expert team delivers accurate electrical data, supporting analysis, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Insulating materials fail quietly — a slightly conductive plastic or a coating that breaks down under voltage may pass a visual check yet cause a short, a shock, or a field failure later. electrical property testing makes those hidden properties visible, confirming a material resists current and withstands the voltages it will meet in service.
For manufacturers and designers it guides material choice and proves compliance; for QC teams it verifies incoming material; for failure work it explains why an insulator broke down. In every case it turns an assumption about safety into documented evidence.
Our electrical property testing covers the core electrical characteristics of insulating and dielectric materials.
Resistance through the bulk.
Resistance along the surface.
Voltage to breakdown.
Permittivity & loss.
Surface arc tracking.
Overall resistance.
