material testing
essential for maintaining quality, safety, and reliability in products
Material Testing Laboratory
Impact Solutions is a leading independent UK-based material test laboratory and innovation centre. We are a UKAS and ISO 17025 accredited (No.0402) laboratory, we are equipped with extensive expertise and technical know-how across a wide range of laboratory testing areas.
Biodegradable Plastic Testing
Over recent years the use of biodegradable and bioplastic products has significantly increased to replace single-use plastics. Impact Solutions can carry out compostability, ecotoxicity, disintegration, and material characterisation testing to investigate biodegradable parameters.
Mechanical Testing
The mechanical properties of materials are fundamental to understanding their behaviours under various conditions and areas of use. You can alter and tune these properties using a vast array of additives like mineral fillers, lubricants, plasticisers, pigments, anti-oxidants, and fibers for optimum performance.
Thermal Analysis Testing
Thermal properties of plastics strongly depend on the molecular structure and are critical to understanding how the material behaves. Typical phase transitions or thermoplastic resins are glass transition, melting of crystallites, and thermal degradation of macromolecular chains.
Material Analysis
Material Analysis assesses whether products meet specifications and determines their properties to understand how they will react to a given environment. During its service period, a product is constantly affected by elements such as abrasion, impact, corrosive chemicals, and fire, which can affect its service life and cause early failure.
