  • Comprehending Automotive Testing Challenges

    The automotive environment is diverse, subjecting materials to extreme temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and mechanical stresses. At KIYO, researchers understand these challenges and design comprehensive testing protocols to evaluate the performance and durability of plastic materials under automotive conditions.

  • Advanced Material Characterization

    KIYO employs sophisticated techniques to characterize plastic materials used in the automotive industry. From analyzing the thermal properties to understanding mechanical behavior, comprehensive material characterization forms the foundation of successful automotive testing.

  • Tensile and Flexural Testing for Structural Integrity

    Tensile and flexural testing are crucial for assessing the structural integrity of plastic components. KIYO conducts these tests following ASTM and ISO standards to determine tensile strength, elongation, and flexural properties, ensuring that plastics meet the demanding requirements of automotive applications.

  • Impact Resistance and Fracture Toughness

    Automotive components must withstand impact forces during collisions and accidents. At KIYO, impact resistance and fracture toughness testing are carried out to assess a plastic material's ability to absorb energy and prevent catastrophic failure, contributing to enhanced vehicle safety.

  • Environmental and Chemical Exposure

    Plastics in automotive applications are exposed to various environmental factors and chemicals over their lifecycle. KIYO simulates real-world conditions by subjecting plastic specimens to accelerated weathering, chemical exposure, and aging tests to assess their long-term performance and resistance to degradation.

  • Flame Resistance and Fire Retardancy

    Automotive safety standards necessitate fire-resistant materials in critical areas. KIYO conducts flame resistance and fire retardancy tests to ensure that plastics used in vehicle interiors and engine compartments meet stringent fire safety regulations.

  • Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Analysis

    Quiet and comfortable driving experiences are essential for modern vehicles. KIYO's NVH analysis examines the acoustic properties and vibration damping capabilities of plastic components, aiding in noise reduction and overall ride comfort.
