Glass
Our comprehensive testing services push products to their limits, ensuring they’re ready for the demands of everyday use. We test to established standards and requirements and can also develop custom methods that meet customer-defined applications.
Light stability
RDSO and IS methods
Light stability testing – Evaluates how well glass resists discoloration, fading, or degradation when exposed to prolonged light exposure
Boil Test
RDSO and IS methods
Boil Test – Assesses the glass sample’s resistance to thermal shock and structural integrity under extreme temperature conditions
Impact resistance
RDSO and IS methods
Impact resistance – Measures the ability of glass to withstand sudden force or shock without breaking or shattering
Penetration test
RDSO and IS methods
Penetration Test – Evaluates a glass sample’s ability to resist piercing forces, ensuring safety and structural strength under sharp impact.
Fracture & Adhesion
RDSO and IS methods
Fracture and adhesion testing – Examines how glass breaks and how well fragments adhere to coatings or interlayers, ensuring safety and controlled breakage behavior
Sealing unit
RDSO and IS methods
Sealing unit testing verifies the integrity of glass edge seals, ensuring long-term moisture resistance, insulation performance, and durability
Fragmentation test
RDSO and IS methods
Fragmentation testing – Evaluates how safety glass breaks, ensuring it shatters into small, harmless pieces rather than sharp, dangerous fragments
Resistance to shock
RDSO and IS methods
Resistance to shock testing – Measures the glass’s ability to withstand sudden temperature or mechanical changes without cracking or failure
