Will your rubber seal hold pressure, survive heat, and last in service? Rubber and elastomers fail in ways metals and plastics don’t — they harden, crack, take a set, and lose elasticity with age. A dependable rubber testing laboratory in chennai measures all of it, so you can prove compound quality, meet specifications, and prevent field failures. Kiyo R&D Lab tests the strength, hardness, tear, ageing, and set of your rubber with confidence.
From vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers to seals, O-rings, gaskets, and moulded parts, our expert team delivers accurate test data, supporting analysis, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Rubber is chosen for its ability to stretch, seal, and spring back — but those very properties change with temperature, time, and chemical exposure. A compound that performs on day one can harden or crack after months in service. That is why a proper rubber testing laboratory in chennai measures not just strength, but hardness, tear resistance, elasticity, and how all of these hold up after ageing.
For manufacturers, testing confirms a batch meets specification. For designers, it guides compound selection for seals and flexible parts. For QC and failure work, it catches weak or over-aged material before it reaches the customer.
As a full-service rubber testing laboratory in chennai, we run the complete range of physical and ageing tests that specifications call for.
Strength & stretch (D412).
