Precision Testing for Plastics and PET

Lightweighting can’t compromise strength. Material consistency can’t be questioned. In plastics and PET manufacturing, quality is non-negotiable – whether you’re producing beverage bottles, food packaging, pharmaceutical containers, or industrial components.

Industrial Physics delivers comprehensive testing solutions that ensure your materials meet specifications every time. From melt flow to impact testing, barrier performance to burst strength, we provide accurate, reliable and repeatable results at every stage – validating raw materials, optimizing processing parameters, and proving finished products will perform under pressure.

With comprehensive testing solutions across Ray-Ran, Torus, Vibrac, and our specialist brands, backed by deep application expertise and global service support, we protect integrity from raw material to finished product across the complete plastics manufacturing process.

Complete Testing Solutions for Plastics & PET

We enable plastics and PET manufacturers to maintain the highest quality standards across diverse applications: 

Melt Flow Testing 

Validate polymer processability and consistency with precision melt flow rate testing that ensures raw materials and compounds meet processing specifications. 

Impact Testing 

Measure impact resistance and toughness across temperature ranges and conditions, ensuring your plastic products withstand real-world use and handling. 

Burst Testing 

Test container and bottle burst strength to validate structural integrity and ensure products meet performance requirements under pressure. 

Plastic Container Testing 

Comprehensive testing for PET bottles, preforms, and plastic containers – validating strength, pressure resistance, and performance across beverage, food, and industrial applications. 

Tensile Testing 

Measure tensile strength, elongation, and modulus to characterize material properties and ensure consistent performance across production batches. 

Permeation Testing 

Validate barrier properties with precision permeation analysis, ensuring packaging protects product shelf life across food, pharmaceutical, and sensitive applications. 

Compression and Crush Testing 

Test Non-destructive top load and compression strength testing to ensure containers maintain integrity throughout filling, shipping, and storage. 

Density Testing 

Precise density measurement for quality control, material identification, and process optimization across all plastic grades and applications. 

Torque Testing

Validate cap and closure application and removal torque with Vibrac testing systems, ensuring consistent performance and consumer safety across bottles, jars, and containers.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

“Testing with the new unit has been great. We’ve run more testing than I’d anticipated, including in the process of trialing at least 13 new raw materials we’re evaluating. Our team is appreciating the increased amount of information we’re able to pull, compared to our old unit.

Additionally, being able to see the trendline has allowed us to reduce the time it takes to get an actionable idea of where our OTR reading is going to land, which has helped us achieve a minor reduction in scrap rates. All in, we’re very happy with the unit”
