Every high-performance product begins with one critical step—understanding the quality of its raw materials. Whether you work with plastics, rubber, composites, metals, adhesives, coatings, or packaging, the behavior of your final product is only as dependable as the materials used. That’s where raw material testing methods – Kiyo R&D LAB play a crucial role.
At Kiyo R&D LAB, a NABL-accredited testing facility, industries rely on us not just for compliance, but for clarity, accuracy, and confidence. Our approach combines modern equipment, strict ASTM/ISO standards, deep technical knowledge, and fast report turnaround—helping manufacturers eliminate guesswork and build safer, stronger, and more reliable products.
In this blog, we break down why raw material testing matters, what methods are used, and how Kiyo R&D LAB ensures consistent quality for businesses across India.
Today’s industries face growing pressure:
When raw materials fail, everything fails—product performance, safety, reputation, and profit margins. Here’s why raw material testing must be a non-negotiable step:
Testing reveals whether a material can handle stress, load, heat, chemicals, or long-term environmental exposure.
Poor-quality raw materials cause cracking, warping, delamination, bonding failure, and dimensional instability.
Raw materials from different batches or sources may behave differently—testing keeps suppliers honest.
Engineers make better choices when they know how materials behave under controlled conditions.
NABL-accredited laboratories provide recognized and accepted documentation for audits, certifications, and approvals.
This is exactly where raw material testing methods – Kiyo R&D LAB become essential for industries like automotive, aerospace, packaging, electrical, electronics, polymer, construction, and consumer goods.
Kiyo R&D LAB specializes in a wide range of raw material evaluations based on global test standards such as ASTM, ISO, IS, and JIS. Each method helps identify unique characteristics and potential performance issues before materials enter production.
Below are the most in-demand testing categories.
Mechanical properties directly determine whether a material can survive real-world stress.
Measures:
Standards: ASTM D638, ISO 527
Applications: Plastics, rubber, composites, adhesives
Evaluates bending strength and stiffness.
Standards: ASTM D790, ISO 178
Determines toughness and energy absorption.
Standards: ASTM D256 (Izod), ASTM D4812
Useful for: Automotive plastics, packaging materials
Shore A, Shore D, Rockwell hardness for rubber, plastics, and coatings.
Why this matters: Mechanical data helps designers prevent premature failure.
Thermal stability is one of the biggest indicators of material aging and suitability.
Measures:
Crucial for polymers and composite manufacturers.
Shows how a material degrades with temperature—helps identify fillers, moisture, and volatile content.
Indicates how materials behave under heat load.
Why this matters: Thermal data helps predict product durability under temperature fluctuations (automotive, electronics, outdoor applications).
Chemical structure determines long-term stability.
Identifies polymer types, contaminants, and degradation levels.
Indicates purity and filler percentage in plastics and rubber.
High moisture leads to poor molding and mechanical defects.
Why it matters: Chemical consistency ensures every batch behaves the same.
Understanding flow behavior ensures smooth processing.
Indicates:
Industries like packaging, injection molding, and film extrusion depend heavily on accurate MFI results.
Used for coatings, adhesives, laminates, and composites.
Evaluates bonding reliability.
Used for tapes, films, and packaging.
Why it matters: Poor adhesion leads to product failure in real-world conditions.
Simulates real-world aging.
Tests color fading, cracking, and durability.
Critical for metal parts, coatings, and automotive components.
Stresses materials in extreme conditions.
