Leather
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.
Tensile Strength
RDSO and IS methods
Tensile Testing – Determines the samples strength, durability and flexibility to ensure reliable performance in real life applications
Elongation at Break
RDSO and IS methods
Elongation at break – Measures how much a leather sample can stretch before failing, indicating flexibility and material resistance
Tear Strength
RDSO and IS methods
Tear Strength – testing evaluates the leather’s resistance to ripping under stress, ensuring durability and long-term performance.
pH of Water soluble
RDSO and IS methods
pH of Water Soluble – determines the acidity or alkalinity of leather, ensuring material safety, stability, and compliance with quality standards
Chromium content
RDSO and IS methods
Chromium Content – Quantifies residual chromium in leather to verify safe tanning levels and regulatory compliance
Solvent Extractable Substance
RDSO and IS methods
Solvent extractable content – Measures oils, waxes, and other extractable substances in leather to assess purity, finish stability, and processing quality
Crackiness of the grain
RDSO and IS methods
Crackiness of the grain – Evaluates the leather’s surface flexibility and resistance to cracking under bending or stress
Double hole stitch tear strength
RDSO and IS methods
Double hole stitch tear strength – Tests the durability of leather around stitched areas, ensuring resistance to tearing during real-world use.
Shrikage
RDSO and IS methods
Shrinkage testing – Determines how leather reacts to heat or moisture, ensuring dimensional stability and durability in end use
