Tensile strength at break is the maximum amount of stress required to fail or break the material under tension loading test conditions. Tensile strength tests are typically performed according to test procedure standards such as ASTM D-638 or ISO 527-1, ASTM D-1708, ASTM D-2289 (plastics at high strain rates), and ASTM D-882 (thin plastic sheets) as well as other OEM proprietary standards. Products & Services
Specialty polymers and resins are proprietary polymers, resins, monomers and intermediates. This category includes plastics and elastomers that are based on proprietary curing technologies or chemistries, or that are designed for specialized applications.
Foams and foam materials are industrial products made from low density elastomers, plastics, and other materials with various structures and porosities.
Mechanical testing equipment covers devices used for adhesion, compression, drop (shock), tensile, vibration and fatigue testing.
Industrial tape is used for adhesive bonding, thread sealing, masking, packaging, wrapping, electrical insulation, ESD control and other specialized applications.
Vapor barriers are used on the exterior of buildings to allow air flow, but limit the passage of moisture.
