Our Laboratory Services
What we offer
As an accredited laboratory of a TPE manufacturer, we integrate material development, processing, and testing under one roof. This delivers meaningful test results that directly support your component approval, claims processing, or material selection decisions.
Thermal Stability and Aging Resistance
Thermal tests and accelerated aging trials provide insight into how stable your TPE remains throughout its entire service life—from processing to end-customer use.
Accelerated aging and heat resistance tests
Accelerated aging and heat resistance tests simulate long-term influences like elevated temperatures to make potential embrittlement or property loss visible early.
Thermogravimetry (TGA)
TGA analyzes mass changes during heating to provide information on fillers, volatile components, and thermal stability.
Artificial weathering
Weathering and color fastness tests show how your TPE reacts to UV light, climate changes, and humidity, ensuring optics and function remain stable even after years.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
DSC measurements deliver melting and glass transition temperatures to help define suitable application and processing temperatures.
Thermogravimetry (TGA)
TGA analyzes mass changes during heating to provide information on fillers, volatile components, and thermal stability.
Material Properties and Processing Behavior
Material properties are critical for mastering processing, reproducibility, and quality.
Density
Density control helps you maintain consistent formulations, filler contents, and component weights.
Measurement of hardness
Hardness testing characterizes the haptic and damping behavior of your TPE, enabling targeted comparison of different formulations.
Determination of the melt flow rate
Melt flow rate determines processing behavior and helps define suitable processing windows for injection molding or extrusion.
Extractable ingredients
Extractable content tests are particularly important for regulated applications and support compliance with customer and standard requirements.
Application and Safety Behavior
Material properties are critical for mastering processing, reproducibility, and quality.
Burning behavior
Burning behavior tests evaluate your material's performance in fire situations and help meet customer safety and regulatory requirements.
Fogging behavior
Fogging tests reveal whether volatile components from your TPE outgas, potentially causing visible residues or odors (e.g., in vehicle interiors).
Surface, Adhesion, and Appearance
The performance of modern TPE components heavily depends on surface, appearance, and bonding to other plastics. We test these properties specifically.
Adhesion to substrates
We test your TPE's adhesion to typical substrates like PP, PA, or ABS and evaluate delamination risk in multi-component parts.
Color measurements and Grey scale
Color measurements and grey scale evaluation ensure your components maintain defined colors, opacity, and appearance across different batches.
Mechanical Performance
We test the mechanical properties of your TPE compounds and components under realistic conditions. This allows early detection of whether your design can withstand the required loads.
Determination of mechanical properties
Tensile, elongation, and stress tests reveal how robust and flexible your material truly is and whether your safety margins are adequately dimensioned.
Tear resistance
By measuring tear resistance, we assess how sensitive your component is to notches, cuts, or assembly stresses.
Compression set / Tension set
Compression and tension set tests show whether sealing and spring functions remain reliable after prolonged loading or if unwanted permanent deformation occurs.

What does “accredited testing laboratory” mean?
A testing laboratory accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) is a laboratory that is both officially registered and regularly inspected by a national accreditation body.
The successful accreditation of our testing laboratory confirms that the activities can be carried out competently and in accordance with internationally recognized standards and legal requirements. The accreditation is based on EU Regulation (EC) 765/2008
This means that you can rely on the fact that we generally work on the basis of scientifically recognized and objective methods, as well as at the highest professional level, and that comparable and reproducible results are produced

Participation in national and international standardization
As a member of the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), we are actively involved in the standardization of materials and test methods. In the Elastomer Technology (NET) / Working Group “TPE Materials” and Materials Testing (NMP) / Working Group “Testing of the Physical Properties of Rubber and Elastomers” standards committees, we define basic data for our materials and their testing.
Internationally, we reflect this work as a member of the International Standards Organization (ISO) in technical committee TC45.
The results of this work are, for example, the material standards for thermoplastic elastomers DIN 78004-1 and -2 or the adhesion test implemented as the international standard ISO 813-2, which is based on the VDI guideline VDI 2019.
We are also involved in the further development of common elastomer testing standards such as ISO 188 (Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests) or DIN ISO 1817 (Elastomers or thermoplastic elastomers - Determination of behaviour towards liquids).
