Plastics & Rubber

Presto Stantest provides products and services of high-precision mechanical testing to the plastics and rubber sectors, allowing manufacturers to test the properties of raw materials as well as the mechanical performance of finished goods. To assist in the assurance of quality and product development, our systems are developed to give accurate and repeatable measurements to aid in compliance with international standards and customer demands.

Key applications include:

• 3-point bend testing to identify flexural properties of plastics
• adhesion/peel testing of plastic labels, ID, and credit cards
• coefficient of friction testing of plastic film and sheeting
• compression testing of plastic foam
• measuring the elongation/return characteristics of plastics, rubber, and elastomers
• measuring the initial 'slip' torque and 'bridge' torque on plastic tamper-evident closures
• pull-off and insertion/withdrawal testing of plastic fasteners
• release and application torque of plastic closures
• tensile and material strength testing of:

• conveyor belts
• gaskets and o-rings
• rubber and plastic flooring
• shoe soles
• tyres

• top-load testing of plastic containers, e.g., PET bottles

Presto Stantest systems are completely flexible to suit the internationally accepted testing guidelines like ASTM, BS, and DIN. Also, our solutions are set to support in-house testing requirements, where the manufacturer can enforce consistency and traceability to product batches.

Presto Stantest, with its over 42 years of experience, has come up with force, material, and torque testing tools that are flexible, reliable, and cost-effective. The powerful design, along with smart control software, is designed to facilitate the accurate running of tests alongside the extensive acquisition and analysis of data. It allows engineers and quality-control teams to see the trends in performance and optimize the choice of materials and ensure their adherence to the regulatory and customer expectation standards.

Since simple raw materials and intricate mechanical behavior of finished products can be surveyed, Presto Stantest testing solutions assist manufacturers in India and the world market to ensure uniform quality, improve product functionality, and reduce risk. Our systems are capable of supporting the demanding requirements of the plastics and rubber industries and thus are a crucial resource in R development, production, and quality control settings.
