4. What Kinds of Polymer Testing Services Kiyo R&D Lab Provides
Here are some of the specific tests & services you can expect when you choose Kiyo R&D:
Type of Test / Service What It Measures / Ensures Why It Matters
Mechanical Tests (tensile, flexural, impact, hardness) Strength, flexibility, ability to resist physical forces To ensure parts don’t break, deform or lose function under load
Thermal & Heat Aging Tests How materials behave under temperature, heat distortion, thermal cycling For parts exposed to heat, overheating, or temperature changes
Chemical Resistance & Corrosion Tests Reaction to acids, alkalis, solvents, salt spray, etc. Critical for outdoor parts, chemically exposed environments
Electrical / Insulation Testing Dielectric strength, conductivity, insulation resistance For electrical parts, cables, consumer electronics, safety devices
Environmental & Weathering Tests UV exposure, moisture, humidity, oxidative conditions, aging To predict longevity and outdoor performance
Degradation / Aging Studies Polymer degradation over time under accelerated conditions Helps in forecasting lifespan and maintenance schedules
Morphological / Chemical Analysis Molecular weight, cross‑link density, filler content, additive composition (via FTIR, TGA, DSC etc.) To ensure material consistency, understand behavior at molecular level
Failure Analysis & Custom Tests When something goes wrong: analyzing failure modes, custom stress tests Helps in fixing design flaws, preventing future failures
Kiyo’s lab has infrastructure for many of these. They advertise “thermal accelerated properties”, “electrical properties”, “chemical / corrosion properties”, “degradation properties”, etc.
