Associated Polymer Labs offers customized methods as well as ASTM D 2990 for determining the performance of Thermal plastic elastomers, polyolefins, medical devices, nanocomposites, synthetic lumber, and glass filled nylon materials. Long term creep tests are performed either in tensile or compression mode.

At Associated Polymer Labs creeps tests are performed using individual fixtures. APL has the capability to test samples in triplicate, at two loading, and three temperatures, at the same time. This means you can have 18 samples tested simultaneously and obtain more information.

APL has an extra tall oven for testing elastomers and rubbers. We can measure a three inch sample extend to 12 inches. Six samples can fit into the oven, and all can have different loadings. Data from creep and creep-rupture tests are necessary to predict the creep modulus and strength of materials under long-term loads and to predict dimensional changes that may occur as a result of such loads.
