Our Mechanical Testing Services
Mechanical testing is fundamental to understanding the behaviour and limits of a materials performance. To ensure product quality and service life, it is necessary to perform short and long term mechanical testing at every stage of production. We can test from raw materials to final product using methods such as tensile strength, impact properties, deformation with temperature and creep. Our team have industry experience stretching back 50 years, giving us a wealth of knowledge to draw on when carrying out mechanical testing for commodity and engineering polymers as well as composites.
In addition to material analysis, Impact Solutions can support companies formulation and material development to optimise processing and performance in-use, with additives such as mineral fillers, lubricants, plasticisers, pigments, anti-oxidants and fibres.
Mechanical testing allows for:
High demand mechanical tests
Impact Laboratories can perform a wide range of short-term and long-term mechanical tests on plastics, composites and rubbers. These tests can be conducted under both high and low temperature to deliver tailored testing to meet our client’s needs.
