Our Lab Capabilities

Our Lab's Solutions Bring Understanding To Predict Constitutive Behavior Of The Polymeric Materials. Currently Wee Offer Different  Products And Solutions Like:

MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION & TESTING

KARAX is equipped to evaluate material properties and performance for various types of metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. In addition to tension, compression, and bending of material samples, we also perform insertion and extraction force testing on electrical connectors and cable assemblies.

MELT FLOW INDEX (MFI)

FIBER VOLUME FRACTION MEASUREMENT (FVFM)

The Fiber Volume Fraction (FVF) measurement of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) is crucial in understanding and characterizing their mechanical performance. To date, there has not been a standardized, labor-efficient method in determining the FVF of a non-crimp fabric (NCF) carbon reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPs).

HDT / VICAT MEASUREMENT

MECHANICAL TESTING

We can do measure the important mechanical properties of a composite to accepted standards or norms-stiffens, strength, flexural properties, impact, etc.

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY TESTING

DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermo-analytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment. Generally, the temperature program for a DSC analysis is designed such that the sample holder temperature increases linearly as a function of time. The reference sample should have a well-defined heat capacity over the range of temperatures to be scanned.

MOISTURE CONTENT ANALYSIS

We can do Moisture analysis covers a variety of methods for measuring moisture content in both high level and trace amounts in solids, liquids, or gases. Moisture in percentage amounts is monitored as a specification in commercial food production. There are many applications where trace moisture measurements are necessary for manufacturing and process quality assurance. Trace moisture in solids must be controlled for plastics, pharmaceuticals and heat treatment processes. Gas or liquid measurement applications include dry air, hydrocarbon processing, pure semiconductor gases, bulk pure gases, dielectric gases such as those in transformers and power plants, and natural gas pipeline transport.

DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS (DMA)

is a technique used to study and characterize materials. It is most useful for studying the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. A sinusoidal stress is applied and the strain in the material is measured, allowing one to determine the complex modulus. The temperature of the sample or the frequency of the stress are often varied, leading to variations in the complex modulus; this approach can be used to locate the glass transition temperature of the material, as well as to identify transitions corresponding to other molecular motions.

is a basic analyses to get a sense of the flow behavior of thermoplastic polymers? The MFI value is a widely used parameter for selecting polymer grades for a certain application.

Measurement of the heat distortion temperature of polymer due provide an indication of its useful working upper temperature range.

We Have equipment for measuring the electrical conductivity of modified polymers and composites, e.g. due to the addition of conductive avidities or non-avidities.
