This area of physical testing comprises a broad range of nationally and internationally standardised methods for flexible materials, polymer materials, composites and component parts from various fields of application and industries. In this connection we draw on proven and modern laboratory equipment. The physical-mechanical tests range from the determination of basic material parameters, strength and extension properties to buckling and abrasive wear stresses, and special investigations (e. g. stick-slip-behaviour). In addition, we offer you a wide range of fastness and ageing tests for the quantification and assessment of material resistance and the material’s application behaviour. Using a variety of equipment technology, we can carry out for you heat/cold ageing and most different accelerated ageing scenarios under constant or changing climatic conditions in materials and component parts.
