Our laboratory includes equipment for measuring the quality of our incoming raw materials and our finished products. We 100% test both incoming raw materials and every batch of finished products. Our laboratory is also equipped to help solve customer problems and to support our research and development projects. Our laboratory includes the following:

• FTIR (with microscope) - for finger-printing incoming raw materials and finished product blends. The microscope capability allows us to trouble-shoot customer problems with analyzing undispersed particles in a rubber matrix.
• MDR Rheometers - for R& D work and quality control testing of finished curative blends. One rheometer has a pressure tranducer for measuring sponge compound blow properties.
• Ash Content - for measuring inorganic content such as zinc oxide, silica, clay, etc. in blends.
• Heat Loss - for measuring volatiles.
• Capillary Melt Point - for measuring melt points of powdered materials and decomposition of products with blowing agents. Also, for measuring melt point and softening point of batch inclusive bags and pellet materials such as waxes.
