OUR RIGOROUS TESTING PROCEDURES ENSURE SUPERIOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
Coefficient Of Friction Testing
Essential for anti-slip tapes, this testing measures the tape’s traction levels, ensuring they provide adequate grip and prevent slips and falls in various environments.
BS5609 Marine Immersion Testing
For helicopters, where stability during boarding and disembarking is vital, anti-slip tapes offer added traction. They are also essential on helicopter pads, which can become slippery due to weather conditions or fuel spills, enhancing safety for both passengers and crew.
Light Reflectance Values Testing
Critical for safety and hazard tapes, this test measures the reflective quality of tapes, ensuring they are obvious in low-light conditions for safety marking and hazard identification. Contrast is very important for individuals with partial vision, and knowing the LRV value can ensure you create a safe environment for them to traverse, as there’s a distinct marking for any dangerous zones and safe walkways to use.
Thermastatical Tape Testing
For tapes used in high-temperature applications, the thermostatic tape test evaluates the tape’s stability and adhesive properties under varying thermal conditions.
Retention Testing
This test is vital for ensuring the long-term adhesive strength of tapes, which is particularly important for industrial and construction tapes that require lasting adhesion.
Shore Hardness Testing
Used for testing the hardness of our tapes, this is especially relevant for tapes that need to maintain structural integrity under physical stress.
Oxford Testing
A method to assess the wear and tear of tapes, particularly crucial for floor and marking tapes in high-traffic areas.
Sutherland 200 Rub Testing
This test evaluates the durability of the print on our custom-printed tapes, ensuring that markings remain legible and intact even under constant friction.
Finat Testing
This test examines the performance of adhesive tapes under different conditions, ensuring their reliability for various applications, from construction to industrial usage.
FAR 25853 Testing
Applicable for our aviation-grade products, this test ensures that our anti-slip tapes comply with the stringent fire safety standards required in the aviation industry.
Committed To Excellence
Each of these tests is tailored to the specific types of tapes we manufacture, reflecting our commitment to delivering products that perform exceptionally in their intended applications. By subjecting our tapes to these rigorous testing standards, we ensure that they not only meet but often exceed the requirements of our diverse customer base.
