Our tests and services are performed to the highest standards

Recycling plastics

ExcelPlas operates a fully equipped modern plastics testing laboratory for a wide range of polymer and plastics testings. ExcelPlas are accredited for compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 with a wide range of NATA accredited tests. 

Our accredited tests include:

  • mechanical testing (tensile, tear, puncture, impact etc.)
  • chemical analysis (DSC, FTIR, gravimetric ashing, filler ID, etc.)
  • microscopic analysis (digital microscopy, optical microscopy)
  • durability testing (oven ageing, QUV exposure, immersion)
  • oxidative stability testing (OIT, HP-OIT, carbonyl index)
  • physical testing (density, melt flow rate, carbon black content, carbon black dispersion)
  • cable insulation and cable sheathing (Oxidative Induction Time)
