Our Physical-Mechanical laboratory, under controlled environmental conditions of temperature and relative humidity (23°C and 50% RH), offers services related to the physical-mechanical properties of mainly plastic materials, as well as those that, according to regulations or standards, have to be tested in these environmental conditions. The lab is comprehensively equipped for this type of testing and offers companies and manufacturers solutions when it comes to the characterization of their parts, components and materials. Main types of lab tests: Determination of physical-mechanical properties: Characterization using different universal testing machines for the determination of, for example, tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, peel strength, friction strength, adhesion strength, and other mechanical properties. Tests with/without environmental chamber (-40°C to 250°C). Force range up to 10 kN. Accessories: Strain gauges, jaws, fasteners, clamps, and more. Determination of other physical properties: Characterization through the use of various equipment to measure properties such as, for example, mass, density, thickness, melting point, volume, solubility, viscosity, permeability, and more. Characterization of surfaces and coatings: Characterization through the use of different equipment for the determination of, for example, surface hardness, adhesion, abrasion wear, scratching, surface impact resistance, chemical resistances, and more. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specific testing: Characterization of car interior and exterior parts according to manufacturer specifications and regulations. Specific accreditations of the RENAULT Group (Self-Validation), and the VOLKSWAGEN Group as a reliable laboratory.
