Accelerated Weathering Testing

Impact Solutions have an accelerated weathering and lightfastness laboratory, which is designed to test the durability of your product under various climatic conditions across a wide range of standards and industries.

Biodegradable Plastic Testing

Over recent years the use of biodegradable and bioplastic products have significantly increased to replace single-use plastics. Impact Solutions can carry out compostability, ecotoxicity, disintegration and material characterisation testing to investigate biodegradable parameters.

Mechanical Analysis Testing

The mechanical properties of materials are fundamental to understanding their behaviours under various conditions and areas of use. You can alter and tune these properties using a vast array of additives like mineral fillers, lubricants, plasticisers, pigments, anti-oxidants and fibres for optimum performance.

Thermal Analysis Testing

Thermal properties of plastics strongly depend on the molecular structure and are critical to understanding how the material behaves. Typical phase transitions or thermoplastic resins are glass transition, melting of crystallites and thermal degradation of macromolecular chains.

Material Analysis

Material Analysis assesses if products meet specification and determine their properties to understand how they will react to a given environment. During the service period of a product, it is constantly affected by elements like abrasion, impact and corrosive chemicals and fire which can affect the product’s service life and cause early failure.

Environmental and Climatic Testing

Climatic testing allows real world climate conditions to be recreated accurately in the lab. This allows products to be tested in their extreme working environments to improve reliability and help speed up development work by identifying weak spots quickly.

Composite Testing

Composites are a lightweight, strong material with many benefits and room for tailoring for specific purposes. Impact Solutions have done testing for a myriad of industries, not limited to oil, gas and automotive.

Flammability Testing

We are able to undertake a wide range of fire testing to a number of standards to determine the flammability of your product. We’ve featured on the BBC with a segment on fire testing of external wall claddings similar to those used at Grenfell tower.

Processing & Sample Prep

Our range of equipment is available for use in sample preparation for 3rd parties who wish to make shapes and geometries on a small scale. This is ideal for companies looking to prototype or make a few samples in early stage development.
