WHAT WE DO Polymer Testing: kneading, pulling, rolling, mixing, tearing – these are just some of the things we do on a daily basis in our testing centers. This is where we analyze rubber to ensure that it conforms precisely to our customers' individual specifications. Golf balls, car tires, shoe soles, seals and gaskets – they all contain rubber. For each application, different demands are made on this elastic all-rounder. It needs to be abrasion-proof, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, elastic or tear-resistant – sometimes all at once!
