Services & Solutions

End-to-end non-metallic materials testing — from fundamental properties to CAE simulation data, trusted by automotive, aerospace and consumer-goods customers.

01

High-strain-rate, fatigue and creep testing

Our core service. Equipped with a high-speed tensile machine with temperature chamber (−70 °C to 180 °C, strain rates up to 500/s), a 220,000 fps camera and a 3D image processing system, we provide complete and accurate data for crash simulation.

Material Property Testing

Physical and chemical testing of automotive interior and exterior materials — plastics, rubber, leather, paint, electroplating and textiles — together with application engineering support. We hold extensive knowledge of individual OEM material standards and understand how these materials are used in vehicle interiors and exteriors.

Composites Polymers Surface finishes Bonded structures Custom design

Test categories

Composites — Mechanical properties of carbon- and glass-fibre reinforced materials
Polymers — Physical and chemical properties of plastics and rubber
Surface finish materials — Adhesion and durability of paint and electroplated finishes
Filler materials — Compression and resilience of foams and fillers
Adhesives and bonded structures — Bond strength and ageing
Custom test design — Tailored test programmes and fixtures

CAE material cards & calibration

In the digitalisation drive of Industry 4.0, improving simulation reliability is unavoidable. Reliability depends not only on the soundness of the solver but, more importantly, on whether the material data fed in is real and trustworthy. From data processing to constitutive derivation, we deliver a complete CAE material card service.

Sample moulding & machining

Injection-moulded thermoplastic specimens and CNC precision machining of components, ensuring samples fully comply with the relevant test standards — the foundation for accurate test data downstream.

Injection-moulded specimens CNC machining Custom sample extraction

Sample preparation

Thermoplastic injection moulding — Injection moulding of standard specimens
CNC machining of components — Precision extraction from finished parts
Thermoset machining — Special specimen preparation for thermoset materials
05

Interlaboratory comparison & reference materials

Identify latent problems in participating laboratories, reveal differences between laboratories and help them improve their competence. We assign values to comparison specimens so they can later be used for internal quality control — many laboratories already use them in routine QC.
