Composites Laboratory Services

Composites

Composites Testing is important to many stages of manufacturing. The automobile, aircraft, medical and structural building industries rely heavily on composites living up to their claims. Composites need to meet safety, efficacy, and quality regulations for their success in commercial enterprises as well as for public safety.

Composite Testing includes a variety of tests to ensure regulatory compliance and facilitate material processing. These tests are specified to the product but can assess physical, mechanical, strength and stress resilience.
