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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
