Laboratory We have our own laboratory to check or to match suitable rubber blend depending on temperature, endurance and environment requirements (water, greases, oils, chemical substances). (see raw materials)
We have a certificate of National Institute of Hygiene which allows our products to be used in contact with drinking water and food.
Testing of basic rubber’s properties contain:
hardness,
tensile strength,
elongation at break,
permanent deformation,
brittleness point.
Dependending on requirements claimed for finished articles, investigations of supplementary properties of rubber are led:
