Plastic materials are integral to numerous industries, ranging from automotive to consumer goods. Ensuring their quality and performance is crucial for safety, efficiency, and compliance. At Kiyo R&D Center and Laboratory, we offer comprehensive plastic material and product testing services that adhere to both national and international standards. Our advanced testing technologies and expert personnel guarantee that your polymeric materials meet the highest standards.
We measure the hardness of various materials, including vulcanized rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, and plastics, using the Durometer scale. Flexible plastics are tested with Shore A, while hard plastics use Shore D. For softer materials like foams, we use Shore OO and Asker C scales.
Standards:
We determine the Rockwell hardness of plastics to assess their resistance to indentation.
Standards:
Our tensile tests provide essential data for engineering design, such as tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity.
Standards:
We measure the compressive strength of plastics to ensure they meet required performance standards.
Standard:
Our tests determine the Young’s modulus to evaluate the stiffness of plastic materials.
We measure the impact resistance of plastics using the Izod impact test.
Standards:
The Charpy test assesses the energy absorbed by a material during fracture.
Standards:
We determine the flexural properties of plastics, essential for quality control and material specification.
Standards:
Our tests measure the density and specific gravity of plastics to verify material quality.
