Plastic testing (including
elastomers,
composites and polymers) is all we do at Intertek Plastics Technology Laboratories (Intertek PTL). We’ve focused on your industry so you can obtain the A2LA
Accredited quality plastics testing you need including Mechanical
Tests like Tensile, Notched
Izod Impact and Rockwell
Hardness; Electrical
Tests like Dielectric Strength, Surface
Resistivity and Dielectric
Constant; Rheological
Tests like Melt
Flow Rate,
Intrinsic Viscosity
and Capillary Rheometry;
Analytical Tests
like Differential
Scanning Calorimetry, Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry or Karl
Fischer Moisture
Content; Thermal
Tests like Vicat
Softening, Heat Deflection
Temperature (DTUL)
and
Coefficient of Thermal
Expansion; Optical
Tests like Gloss and Color;
in fact nearly any ASTM, ISO, SAE, Mil Spec or UL plastics tests you
require with fast turnaround at competitive prices.
Let our extensive plastics experience work for you. If you’re
a resin manufacturer perhaps you need automotive PPAP submissions requiring
Tensile Strength,
Tensile Modulus,
Notched Izod, Flexural
Strength, Density,
Dielectric Strength and
Melt Flow
Index all tested at an A2LA, ISO 17025, Accredited laboratory.
If you’re a molder or converter of plastics you might need material identification
by Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectrophotometry and Differential
Scanning Calorimetry or we can evaluate brittle parts for molding degradation
by Capillary Rheometry
or Melt Flow Index. We
also perform application testing including Dynatup,
Multiaxial Impact Resistance
on actual parts or evaluations of the effects of chemicals on polymers.
In fact, we’re experts at testing the Chemical
Compatibility of plastics. From basic tests like Specific
Gravity or Bulk
Density to sophisticated tests like Poisson’s
Ratio and Dynamic Mechanical
Analysis we have the state of the art equipment and knowledgeable personnel
to meet your needs. Our focus on plastics can make the difference
in the success of your test program. When evaluating Tensile
Strength and Tensile
Modulus we know when to use ASTM
D638 vs. ASTM
D882, ASTM D412
or ISO 527
and for Melt Flow Index
we know the varied parameters for ASTM
D1238. By understanding acetal crystallinity, nylon moisture affinity
and polycarbonate notch sensitivity we assure the attention to detail that
your specifications demand.
Quality is paramount at Intertek Plastics
Technology Laboratories and we are A2LA,
ISO 17025 Accredited along with holding many industry specific
approvals. Also, Intertek PTL provides some of the best turn around times in the
industry.
