Standard Testing Methods

Injection Molding Test

Standard test specimens are produced using commercial injection molding equipment.

The samples are evaluated for:

• Dimensional stability
• Surface finish
• Processing performance
• Mold release characteristics

---

Mechanical Property Testing

Mechanical performance is evaluated through:

• Tensile Strength (ASTM D638)
• Flexural Strength (ISO 178)
• Impact Strength (ASTM D256)
• Elongation at Break
• Hardness

---

Thermal Performance Testing

Plastic Compounds are tested for:

• Heat resistance
• Thermal stability
• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT)
• Long-term processing stability

---

Chemical Resistance Testing

Samples are exposed to common industrial chemicals to evaluate:

• Chemical compatibility
• Surface stability
• Mechanical property retention

---

Color Stability Evaluation

Repeated processing cycles are performed to determine:

• Color consistency
• Pigment stability
• Thermal color resistance
• Long-term processing reliability

---
