UV Resistance & Color Fade Testing

We assess how your materials hold up under UV exposure using QUV and xenon arc testing, measuring gloss retention, discoloration, and surface degradation.

Moisture, Humidity & Thermal Cycling

Simulate rain, condensation, and heat cycles with precision-controlled chambers to evaluate swelling, warping, cracking, and delamination risks.

Surface Appearance & Structural Integrity

From visual inspection to mechanical property testing post-exposure, we ensure your parts retain performance and appearance over time.

Global Standards. Market-Ready Confidence.

Americhem’s testing protocols are aligned to ISO, ASTM, SAE, and OEM-specific standards so you can validate your products for international markets and regulated industries.

Physical Property Testing That Confirms Durability, Strength, and Reliability

Strength, stiffness, and impact resistance aren’t just specs. They’re essential to your product’s success. Americhem’s physical property testing services validate how your materials behave under stress, strain, and load in real-world applications.

Tensile, Flexural & Elongation Testing

We measure how your materials stretch, bend, and hold their shape under load, providing key data on strength, elasticity, and deformation.

Impact & Toughness Testing

From Izod to Charpy, our impact testing evaluates how well your materials absorb energy under sudden stress or collision conditions.

Hardness & Compression Analysis

Test for material surface hardness, compression strength, and load-bearing capacity to ensure durability in high-pressure applications.

Thermal Property Testing That Delivers Clarity Under Heat

Thermal performance can make or break a material in real world use. Americhem’s thermal property analysis evaluates how your polymers respond to heat, ensuring your products withstand the temperature demands of your application.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

Measure glass transition, melting temperature, and crystallinity to evaluate material thermal transitions under controlled conditions.

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

Determine thermal stability, degradation temperature, and compositional analysis by measuring weight changes during controlled heating.

Heat Deflection & Vicat Softening Point

Test your material’s resistance to deformation under load at elevated temperatures which is critical for high-heat applications.

Thermal Expansion & Conductivity

Analyze how your materials expand or transfer heat under temperature variation, a key to dimensional stability and thermal management.
