Precision Rubber Solutions for Demanding Industries

The FTIR Analyzer identifies and quantifies substances by measuring how they absorb infrared light. As specific wavelengths are absorbed and converted into molecular vibrations, the instrument records a spectrum showing light intensity versus frequency. Each functional group absorbs at characteristic wavelengths, making FTIR a powerful tool for characterizing rubber materials.

The Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) evaluates thermal stability by measuring material weight changes during controlled heating. A sensitive balance detects mass loss, revealing decomposition patterns and enabling analysis of composition, thermal reactions, and degradation behavior.

The Accelerated Aging Oven is a temperature-controlled chamber used to assess the heat resistance and thermal degradation of rubber. It rotates specimens and regulates airflow to simulate long-term aging at elevated temperatures.

Aging at 70°C for 24 hours approximates six months of natural aging, making this method a reliable predictor of rubber durability and lifespan.

The Abrasion Tester measures the wear resistance of rubber using standardized methods such as DIN 53516, ASTM D5963, and ISO 4649. It determines volume loss under controlled conditions—lower loss indicates better abrasion resistance. This test is essential for assessing rubber durability in high-friction applications.

This instrument is used to evaluate the mechanical strength of rubber by measuring its resistance to tensile and compressive forces. The test applies a constant-rate force to the rubber specimen until it breaks or fails, providing key data on material strength and durability.

The Mooney Viscometer measures the viscosity of rubber compounds in Mooney units using a rotating disk within a heated die. By tracking torque resistance, it monitors changes in rubber behavior from an unstable to a scorched state. This data is essential for optimizing processing conditions and evaluating compound flow and mixing efficiency.

This chamber simulates various climate conditions to test material resistance to heat, cold, dryness, and humidity. With a temperature range from -80°C to +200°C, it provides precise environmental control for evaluating sample performance. These tests help determine the material’s durability and reliability under extreme conditions.
