The elastomers industry encompasses a diverse range of synthetic and
natural rubber materials known for their exceptional elasticity and
resilience. These materials play a crucial role across various sectors
including automotive aerospace consumer goods and healthcare due to
their flexibility durability and resistance to temperature and
chemicals. The industry is pivotal in innovating solutions that meet the
evolving demands for high-performance and sustainable materials.
Elastomers Testing and Research Services
Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Elastomers testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:
Tensile Strength Test: Measures the strength and elongation of the elastomer under tension
Hardness Test (Shore A/D): Determines the hardness level of elastomers on the Shore scale
Compression Set Test: Assesses the material's ability to return to its original thickness after a compressive force is removed
Thermal Aging Test: Evaluates how the material properties change when exposed to elevated temperatures over time
Abrasion Resistance Test: Measures the wear resistance of the elastomer surface
Type of Elastomers Products
Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Elastomers finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:
Synthetic Rubber: Includes products like styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) nitrile rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)
Natural Rubber: Harvested from rubber trees and used in applications requiring high tensile strength and flexibility
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE): Combine the properties of plastics and rubbers offering easy processing and recyclability
Silicone Elastomers: Known for their high temperature resistance and applications in medical devices and cookware
Fluoroelastomers: Highly resistant to chemicals and temperature used in automotive seals and gaskets
Polyurethane Elastomers: Offer exceptional abrasion resistance and are used in industrial wheels and rollers
