Multiple quality tests

During operations, the company constantly monitors the quality of their base materials and and to research into new materials that guarantee technical specifications and competitiveness. Accumalux regularly calls upon Sirris to perform mechanical tests or validate thermoplastic materials. The campaigns cover a wide range of tests, including on tensile and flexural properties, impact strength, accelerated ageing, resistance to heat and chemical agents, annealing and more.

The materials the company uses or would like to use are subjected to these tests to validate the properties and technical specifications of the materials and to guarantee their conformity with the product safety data sheet (PSDS) and with both internal and customer requirements. The results of these tests help Accumalux to monitor the procedures and validate current and future raw materials, to guarantee their conformity with the company’s requirements.
