Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)

Test Details DMA collects data pertaining to the loss modulus and the storage modulus of a polymer sample, and from this analysis many characteristics can be observed and measured such as filler effect, glass transition, stress relaxation and cure behavior.  DMA is...
Tension

Tension

Test Details In addition to the commonly referenced tensile and elongation properties most associated with ASTM D412, the standard also expands upon several other key areas of tension properties as well. One of those areas is Tensile Set in which a material is...
Heat Aging

Heat Aging

Test Details Accelerated aging can provide insight into both the material’s suitability for a given application as well as the expected material life cycle through application of a variety of test methods to determine properties after oven exposure of varying...
Abrasion

Abrasion

Test Details ASTM D5963 utilizes a rotary drum abrader to evaluated materials that are subject to both abrasion and frictional wear when used in their intended applications by running the sample laterally across a rotating drum that is outfitted with an abrasive...
