improving material testing procedures . The team can already perform over 60 different tests for a variety of material characteristics , with the most common tested properties being melt flow index , viscosity , impact strength , tensile strength , bending strength , filler content , color , and flammability . However , the testing process can dive deeper into analysis using tests like DSC , FTIR , GC , HDT , VICAT , and scratch resistance , for instance , which ensures that all products meet preagreed specifications .
Working closely with the laboratory , Polykemi also has a dedicated technical support team to deliver assistance to customers across the globe .
