Plastic Films & Sheets Testing
In today’s fast-paced global market, quality assurance and compliance are paramount. Eurolab offers comprehensive plastic films and sheets testing services to ensure that materials meet the highest standards in performance, durability, and safety. Our specialized laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art instruments designed specifically for polymer and plastics analysis.
The testing of plastic films and sheets involves a variety of physical, mechanical, chemical, and environmental analyses aimed at ensuring product quality and reliability. This includes understanding material properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, tear resistance, impact resistance, and barrier properties like moisture vapor permeability (MVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR). These tests are critical in various industries including packaging, automotive, electronics, and construction.
Our services cater to a diverse range of industries by providing detailed reports that can be used for quality control, R&D optimization, and regulatory compliance. We follow stringent ISO standards such as ISO 148:2019 for tensile testing of plastics.
A key focus area is the evaluation of chemical composition through techniques like FTIR spectroscopy and GC-MS analysis. This helps in identifying any impurities or additives that might affect performance or regulatory compliance. Additionally, we perform accelerated aging tests per ISO 10993 to simulate real-world conditions over extended periods.
The testing process begins with careful selection and preparation of specimens according to specific industry standards. This ensures accurate results reflective of actual product performance under various environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and exposure to UV light.
Our team of highly trained engineers uses advanced equipment such as universal testers, flex testers, peel testers, and climate chambers to conduct these rigorous evaluations. The data collected is meticulously analyzed and reported in compliance with relevant international standards ensuring transparency and reliability for all clients involved.
