What is Impact testing of polymers and composites and why is it important?
Product durability and safety are crucial across the aerospace, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries, impacting consumer trust, regulatory compliance, and product reputation. Impact testing of polymers and composites, also known as non-metallic impact testing, is vital in achieving these standards. We assess sample resilience to impact loading through thorough evaluation procedures, replicating real-world conditions. By analyzing factors like deformation, fracture, and energy absorption, impact testing provides valuable insights into materials' mechanical properties and performance under stress. This empowers manufacturers and designers to make informed decisions about material selection, design optimization, and product improvement, ensuring adherence to stringent quality, safety, and performance standards.
