The Role of Rubber Testing in Material Optimization
Rubber compound testing allows us to fine-tune formulations, ensuring that materials meet the exact demands of their intended applications. Whether it’s increasing tensile strength for high-stress environments or improving chemical resistance for industrial seals, our rubber testing methods provide critical insights.
By utilizing a combination of types of rubber testing, such as compression set analysis, tear resistance evaluation, and accelerated aging studies, we help manufacturers optimize their rubber formulations for superior long-term performance. This level of precision ensures that every compound we test is engineered for reliability, efficiency, and compliance with customer and application specification.
