Tensile testing machine
Testing the mechanical properties of masterbatches
Argus Additive Plastics uses a 10 kN Proline from ZwickRoell for standards-based standard tests on masterbatches. The company benefits from the wide measuring range coverage to test different materials efficiently and precisely.
The testing technology user develops and produces masterbatches based on PE, PP and various technical polymers and biopolymers. In order to reliably test the mechanical properties of these highly filled plastic granulates with their diverse additives and color pigments, the company opted for the device from the testing technology experts in Ulm. Among other things, Argus uses it to carry out tensile tests to determine UV resistance and to test various test specimens such as films, fibers, filaments and tensile bars.
Equipped with two different load cells (200 N and 10 kN), the testing machine covers several measuring ranges and thus enables the precise testing of different materials. An optional extensometer ensures precise strain values and key figures such as the modulus of elasticity. The combination of machine performance, individual accessories and reliable software ensures high reproducibility and time savings.
