Polymer Laboratory

The Polymer Laboratory, equipped with advanced instruments and staffed by specialized experts, provides comprehensive testing, identification, and analysis services for polymeric materials, plastics, polymer composites, rubbers, and lubricants for both industrial and research applications. The laboratory is proficient in evaluating mechanical properties, including tensile, flexural, compressive, hardness, impact, rebound, abrasion, rubber-to-metal adhesion, and rubber pressure retention. In addition, it assesses physical and thermal properties, such as density, weight and volume changes, thermal resistance, HDT and VICAT, UV and Xenon aging tests, as well as viscosity, gloss, and color measurements of coatings.

The laboratory is equipped with advanced thermal and chemical analysis instruments, including DSC, TGA, and FTIR, enabling precise determination of material composition, filler content, and carbon black levels in plastics, composites, and rubbers. All tests are conducted in accordance with national and international standards, and the laboratory’s services support quality control, research and development (R&D), and optimization of formulations and performance of polymeric materials and lubricants.
