Heat can cause expansion, softening, degradation, or even complete failure of materials. Testing under controlled thermal conditions reveals a product’s tolerance limits, preventing costly recalls and safety hazards.
International markets demand strict adherence to standards like ASTM, ISO, and IEC. Heat testing ensures that your products are globally competitive and meet both Indian and export market regulations.
By simulating extreme conditions, heat testing helps in predicting the lifespan of materials and guiding engineers to make data-driven improvements.
At Kiyo R&D Lab, we conduct a range of thermal performance tests using precision instruments, including:
Thermal Aging Tests – Evaluating how materials withstand prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) Testing – Measuring the temperature at which a polymer deforms under load.
Vicat Softening Point Testing – Determining the temperature at which a plastic begins to soften.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) – Understanding weight loss in materials due to thermal decomposition.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) – Analyzing melting points, crystallization, and glass transition temperatures.
Oven Aging and Heat Resistance Tests – Checking durability under prolonged heat exposure.
Our heat testing services are designed for a wide range of industries, including:
Automotive Components – Testing polymers, rubbers, and coatings for engine bay and exterior durability.
Electrical & Electronics – Ensuring safe operation of cables, circuit boards, and casings.
Construction & Infrastructure – Verifying the heat tolerance of paints, sealants, and building materials.
Aerospace & Defence – Ensuring high-performance composites withstand extreme conditions.
Packaging Industry – Evaluating thermal stability for storage and transportation.
Advanced Equipment – State-of-the-art thermal analysis tools and precision ovens.
Expert Team – Highly skilled professionals with years of experience in polymer and material testing.
Fast Turnaround – Efficient scheduling and reporting without compromising accuracy.
Comprehensive Reporting – Detailed, easy-to-understand results for decision-making.
NABL Accreditation – Ensuring compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
When launching products in both domestic and international markets, product certification is often mandatory. Heat testing forms a crucial part of these certification processes, ensuring that your materials:
Meet BIS requirements in India.
Align with ASTM International and ISO global standards.
Qualify for CE marking in Europe.
By investing in reliable testing, you reduce the risk of rejections, delays, and additional costs.
One of our clients, a major automotive parts manufacturer, approached us for heat resistance validation of a new polymer blend. After rigorous HDT and TGA testing, we identified a specific temperature range where the material’s structural integrity could fail. By adjusting the polymer formulation, the client successfully improved its heat resistance by 25%, resulting in a longer-lasting, globally compliant product.
