This allows us to perform tests independently, without reliance on external suppliers.<\/p>\n
This equipment enables us to determine accurate stress-strain curves, which form the basis for precise non-linear calculations of plastic products. Furthermore, products can be tested to failure following trial molding runs. Understanding a product’s failure behavior is crucial for predicting its suitability for the intended application. In 2016, a Charpy Notched impact tester was also added to our testing facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
