Importance of Plastics and Polymers Testing

  • The best way to estimate the behavior of polymer and plastic products in terms of their integrity, safety, and performance is to carry out testing.
  • Pollute the composed masks by throwing away toxic chemicals like phthalates, BPA., Etc.
  • Be unable to endure the requested stress or environmental changes (e.g., UV rays resistance, heat stable).
  • Violate standards of operation because of the incorrect use of the components, that is why many costs as well as legal obligations can be designated in this case.

Benefits of Plastics and Polymers Testing

1. Safety Assurance: Chemical exposure is kept at a low level and thus the health and safety of customers are preserved.

2. Regulatory Compliance: Approves regulations like FDA, BIS, ISO, and CE and thus provides unprecedented access to markets worldwide.

3. Quality Control: Among other gains, it also ensures that the items retain strength, ply, and degeneration resistance.

4. Risk Reduction: It is hacking the product’s weight and performance by constantly testing materials under different conditions.

Who could avail Plastics and Polymers Testing Services?

1. Quality Control Managers: Making sure that materials sourcing and production process are in compliance with the set industry standards.

2. Manufacturers: Testing the machine and the process to meet safety and performance characteristics of plastics and polymers for production runs.

3. Importers and Exporters: Needed to check if the products comply with the regulations such as CE, FDA, and BIS for the markets they are targeting.

4. Regulatory Bodies: The international certification that confirms products’ compliance with health and safety standards is given by this organization.

How it Works

mechanical testing
Mechanical Testing
Mechanical testing of plastics and polymers evaluates how the material responds to physical forces. Tensile tests measure the material’s resistance to pulling and stretching until it breaks, while impact tests, like Charpy or Izod, assess the ability to withstand sudden shocks. Flexural tests determine bending strength and stiffness, hardness tests check surface resistance to indentation, and compression tests measure behavior under crushing forces.
Thermal Testing
Thermal testing ensures the material can withstand heat and temperature variations. Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) identifies the point at which the polymer deforms under load. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) measures weight changes during heating to evaluate thermal stability, while Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) determines melting points, glass transitions, and crystallization. Flammability tests check the fire resistance of plastics according to standards like UL 94.
chemical testing
Chemical & Environmental Testing
Chemical and environmental testing evaluates how plastics react to chemicals, moisture, and weather conditions. Chemical resistance tests expose polymers to acids, bases, and solvents to check stability. Weathering tests simulate sunlight, ozone, and environmental effects to measure degradation. Water absorption tests identify swelling or weakening due to moisture, and corrosion testing assesses resistance to chemical attack in plastic-metal composites.
electrical safety testing
Electrical Testing
Electrical testing, performed for specific polymers used in electronics, includes dielectric strength tests to determine voltage tolerance without breakdown and insulation resistance tests to measure leakage current.
dimensional & physical property testing
Dimensional and physical property testing
Dimensional and physical property testing ensures consistent material quality. Density measurements help identify polymer type and uniformity, while Melt Flow Index (MFI) tests evaluate how easily the plastic melts and flows during processing. Shrinkage and warpage measurements detect dimensional changes that occur during molding.
