Read MoreThe tensile test is one of the most common physical measurements in the rubber laboratory. Evaluating the average or median stress-strain behavior for five replicate specimens gives a quick and broad assessment of rubber mechanical properties. Tensile testing can provide even more insights into rubber formulation effects, quality of mixing, and their impact on product durability by testing more replicates to characterize the tensile strength distribution or statistical failure population. It is the aim of this article to highlight this simple and useful testing approach.
Read MoreTTS exploits the unique equivalence of time and temperature in soft materials to allow engineers to characterize materials rapidly and accelerate the design cycle.
Read MoreThe purpose of performing material testing is to ensure the
properties of the materials will meet specific requirements.
Proper testing on a material testing/force stand ensures that the
material will respond appropriately when placed under the expected
usage conditions, or meet the standards required for
product development. For rubber materials, the properties are
often found by testing the raw component before it is made into
the final product.
HEXPOL Compounding Americas (HCA) announces an enhanced collaboration with LabsCubed. HEXPOL, a pioneer in custom rubber compounding, and LabsCubed, a dynamic and innovative automation company, initiated this partnership last year to redefine the benchmarks for rubber quality control, reaffirming HEXPOL’s dedication to innovation and excellence. Following the successful initial phases, HEXPOL is now extending the deployment of LabsCubed automated testing equipment across the United States and Mexico.
