Mechanical rubber testing

Mechanical testing

Mechanical testing of rubber includes hardness, tensile test, compression tests, tear test, adhesion tests, shear modulus, dynamic testing and many others. We offer these standardized testing services for many different types of rubbers, and can help with defining the necessary analyses and suitable testing methods for all materials.

Flexural properties of plastics - 3-point bend test by ISO 178

ISO 178
Determination of the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics and composite materials using 3-point bending tests according to the ISO 178 standard. Results include the following parameters: Conventional deflection, Flexural modulus, Flexural strength at conventional deflection, Flexural strength, Flexural strength at break, Bending at conventional deflection, Bending at break. The displayed price covers testing at room temperature. Other temperature programs are available for an extra charge.

Tensile properties of rigid plastics by ISO 527-2

ISO 527-2
Tensile test for extrusion and injection molded plastics at room temperature. The test characterizes the tensile modulus, yield point, and point of break in accordance with the EN ISO 527-2 standard. The price includes the testing of five A1-type specimens (a sixth specimen is required as backup). Sample preparation is not included in the price, therefore samples should be delivered ready for the test. The standard test parameters are as follows: Clamping pressure: 3 bar, Test speed: 50 mm/min . Other parameters can be used upon request.

Rubber abrasion resistance by ISO 4649

ISO 4649
In this abrasion resistance test, the volume loss that a test piece experiences when subjected to abrasive action is measured. A specified grade of abrasive sheet and a non-rotating test piece are used. The result can be reported as a relative volume loss or an abrasion resistance index. Rubber abrasion resistance testing is suitable for comparative testing, quality control, specification compliance testing, reference purposes, and research and development.

Thermal testing

Thermal testing

Thermal testing of rubbers include glass transition temperature, crystal melt temperature, temperature retraction, brittleness temperature, Gehman test (torsional stiffness at low temperatures), compression or DMA in different temperatures and many others. We offer these, and many other tests according to harmonized standards. 

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

In TGA, the sample is heated at a controlled rate or kept at a controlled temperature while its mass is weighed with an extremely precise scale. The analysis provides information about phase transitions, absorption, adsorption, desorption, chemisorption, thermal decomposition, and solid-gas reactions. It can also be used as a characterization and compositional analysis method. As a result of the measurement, you will get the change in mass as a function of temperature and time. A simultaneous thermal analysis (TGA + DSC) can be performed upon request. The type of heating cycle can be tailored to your sample (temperature ranges from 25 °C to 1100 °C), with various options for the surrounding gas atmosphere (air, O2, and N2). Please disclose the aim of the measurement and the desired temperature program and atmosphere(s) upon ordering.

Thermal characterization with DSC

EN ISO 11357-1
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to determine transition temperatures and enthalpy changes of solid and liquid samples under controlled temperature changes. The analysis can be used to determine the melting, crystallization, and glass transition temperatures and their enthalpies, the material's amorphic and crystalline behavior, hardening and specific heat, material compatibility, and the effect of additives. The temperature range for the measurement is -170 °C to 600 °C, available atmospheres are N2 and O2. Please disclose the desired temperature program upon ordering: heating rate(s) (K/min), isotherms, and temperature ranges (min/max). If you have any doubts about these parameters, we are more than happy to help.

Minimum film formation temperature (MFFT)

ASTM D2354, ISO 2115
MFFT is the lowest temperature at which a latex, emulsion, or adhesive will uniformly coalesce when laid on a substrate as a thin film. An accurate MFFT value allows the formulation of products that cure correctly under specified application conditions. The measurement gives information about the minimum film-forming temperature of latexes and polymer dispersions with a standardized method. The temperature range of the machine is from –10 °C to 60 °C.

Rubber durability

Durability testing

Durability testing of rubber includes accelerated ageing, tension set, compression set, relaxation, cycling relaxation test, estimation of service life, resistance to liquids, weather ageing, weather simulation, outdoor ageing, ozone tests, abrasion testing, dynamic fatigue and many others. We offer all of these, just tell us what you need and we’ll send you a quotation with price, turnaround time and where to send your samples.

Other rubber tests

Other rubber tests

Apart from the common rubber tests there are all kinds of simple and not-so simple tests that manufacturers and developers of rubber materials often need. These include discoloration, dispersion, permeability, fire testing, electrical testing, chemical analysis and many typical material analysis tests, such as TGA, DSC, FTIR and others. If you need any of these tests please contact us, tell us what you need and we will tell you what it costs to do the tests you need.
