This instrument is used for determining the linear change of a refractory caused by a change in temperature and to ascertain the reversibility of these characteristics. It may also be used to determine the expansion and contraction characteristics of raw materials and refractories that do not...

IDM’s Coefficient of Friction Testers have proven to be a fast, reliable and accurate method of determining coefficient of friction. Our range of COF Testers are used to determine the static and kinetic friction of plastic film, sheeting, paper and other sheeted material coatings. Their small...

This instrument is used to determine the coefficient of static friction of most packaging materials by measuring the angle at which one test surface begins to slide against another inclined surface as the incline is increased at a constant and prescribed rate. As the plane rises at a rate of 1.5°...

The Colour Check Cabinet was produced to answer visual colour matching needs. Used for assessing colour changes under different light sources, to determine suitability of materials for industrial applications where there is the need to maintain colour consistency and quality. Fluorescent daylight,...

The Din Abrader is primarily for use in determining the resistance of vulcanised rubber to abrasive forces using a cylindrical type drum. It may however be used to determine the resistance to abrasion of other types of materials such as certain plastics. A cylindrical shaped test piece is abraded...

The DuPont Impact Tester has been designed to test the endurance of coated material, when impacted by a falling weight at specified points. The purpose of the test is to see if test specimens can resist the effect of rapid impact testing. The principle of the test is that a coated test specimen...

The Falling Dart Impact Tester covers the determination of the energy that causes Polyethylene Film to fail under specified conditions, with the impact of a free-falling dart. This energy is expressed in terms of weight (mass) of the dart falling from a specified height, which would result in 50%...

Linear Thermal Shrinkage or Free Shrink is defined as the irreversible and rapid reduction in linear dimension, in a specified direction, occurring in film exposed to elevated temperatures. Shrinkage in this way is related to the material of the film and internal stresses locked into the film (by...

An economic Laboratory Heat Sealer to help determine the sealing parameters of film, laminated films, coated paper and other flexible barrier materials. The IDM Lab Heat Sealer is used to measure the heat sealability of the web surface or sealant layer of materials. Short dwell time web...

Model: L0002 & L0003 Series The Laboratory Press is designed for pressing or helping to form samples between two platens. Two digital temperature controllers enable the platens to be heated or cooled and even set process times for heating and cooling. A digital panel meter is used to display the...

The Ink Rub Tester is designed to determine the quality of adhesion, and scuff resistance of ink to paper surfaces, plastic and aluminium film. The motorised unit is simple to operate by entering the number of rubs in the pre-set counter and starting the unit. It will rub the sample until the...

The Melt Flow Indexer is designed to determine the MVR and MFR of thermoplastic as well as test the high melt temperature such as PC, Fluor plastics and nylon, but also PE, PP, POM,PS,ABS resin which has low melt temperature. * PLC controlled * Touch LCD display * Automatic sample cut *...

The Horizontal Flame Chamber determines the comparative burn rate and burn resistance of textiles, plastics and other automotive interior materials. It features a stainless steel construction, large glass-viewing window, and side door-mounted burner. The lift-off top cover enables for easy...

The design and development of the packaging system has come under close scrutiny with a great deal of emphasis placed on the integrity of the final product. Although factors such as type of package, materials of construction, size and desired outcome all add to the equation of flexible package...

This machine is designed to determine the rigidity and strength of impact toughness of non-metallic materials. It measures the material absorption energy and impact intensity of the material in the course of breaking. The pendulum weight can be changed to adapt to operator requirements. * Impact...
