Our Mechanical Testing Services

Mechanical testing is fundamental to understanding the behaviour and limits of a materials performance.  To ensure product quality and service life, it is necessary to perform short and long term mechanical testing at every stage of production. We can test from raw materials to final product using methods such as tensile strength, impact properties, deformation with temperature and creep.  Our team have industry experience stretching back 50 years, giving us a wealth of knowledge to draw on when carrying out mechanical testing for commodity and engineering polymers as well as composites.

In addition to material analysis, Impact Solutions can support companies formulation and material development to optimise processing and performance in-use, with additives such as mineral fillers, lubricants, plasticisers, pigments, anti-oxidants and fibres.

Mechanical testing allows for:

  • Quality control

  • Product development and R&D

  • Testing of design concepts and prototypes

  • You to test raw materials to ensure compliance with industry specifications

  • Long-term testing to determine the performance of a product in service
