The core of our services lies largely with materials testing and our engineers
operate a range of equipment to meet the requirements of physical testing,
chemical testing, specialist testing, compounds, and consultancy. Our physical
testing facilities measure the physical properties of rubber compounds to ensure
consistency of production, assess effects on the environment and assess changes
in supply of raw material. Chemical testing is also largely required to assess
raw materials, troubleshoot production problems, and assess service changes. Our
specialist testing is designed to allow the generation of design data,
evaluation of product functionality, fundamental measures of rheology, and
dynamic evaluation of materials.

We have a long history of providing outstanding services to the automotive
industry. We provide a comprehensive range of industrial and academic rubber
formulations for a wide range of automotive applications and welcome new
requests for custom formulation developments. Our engineers have extensive
knowledge and experience in formulating for coolant hoses, fuel hoses, tyres,
glazing seals, windscreen wipers, and vibration isolation. We also provide
abrasion and chipping evaluation services for tyre wear and reduction as well as
electrochemical degradation (ECD) services to identify causes of failures or to
provide formulations to prevent failures occurring in the first instance.

We provide compounds and data to customers in a range of markets such as the
dairy or food industry, gaskets for the aerosol industry, rail pads, shoe soles
and car mats. Our experience enables us to gain a full understanding of your
needs and to provide long term solutions. We conduct feasibility studies,
process optimisation of specific materials as required, and process data and
flow modelling at prototype stages to ensure products are processing well. Our
state-of-the-art analysis laboratory houses advanced chromatography,
spectrometry, thermal analysis and imaging equipment and techniques in order for
engineers to examine chemical and physical properties of materials and
compounds. We also provide problem solving and optimisation services.

We are pleased to provide expert services and advice to multi-disciplined teams
from all kinds of industries. We provide advice on the functionality and
durability of materials as well as the most effective process routes that are
available. To complement this, we also provide design date on stress chain
characteristics, fatigue, chemical resistance and other properties to ensure
products meet required standards. Our product life test programmes are available
to test durability of products in their intended operating environments and
recycling options can be discussed and evaluated post service. Please contact us
for further information regarding our product development services or please
visit our website to view case studies.

Our services are designed to meet the requirements of clients, suppliers,
buyers, and end users. Our services include physical and mechanical testing on a
range of elastomeric, polymeric and composite materials, compound development,
rheology and processing to support product developments, analysis equipment to
examine chemical and physical properties of materials and compounds, and GCMS
capability. We work closely with clients from a range of industries to provide
effective service and solutions. Please contact the team at ARTIS with your
requirements and one of our engineers will discuss solutions to meet your needs..

Our course in Rubber Compound Design has been created to provide an overview of
compounding technology as well as information on basic rubber technology and
compound design for dynamic applications, chemical resistance, improvements in
processing, and durability. This training provides students and staff with
knowledge of compound design and the development of a compound for a range of
applications. The training also portrays the importance of the components within
a compound mixture and debates the influence of the chemical, physical, and
mechanical environments on the durability of the compound. Please contact us at
ARTIS to find out more about our training course.

Our knowledge and experience of the industry enables us to provide an
exceptional material consultancy service to our customers. We have extensive
experience in dealing with live manufacturing and service issues enabling us to
provide advice and services for testing and development processes. We can
provide advice and information on the efficiency of materials and the current
production and testing methods available. We can also provide performing
materials analysis to identify and analyse failures of parts. Please contact us
to discuss your requirements.

Our highly-skilled engineers operate in-house facilities for a range of standard
tests for measuring the physical properties of rubber compounds. Our computer
controlled tensile test machine with laser measuring facilities is used for
testing stiffness and strength in tension, compression, shear or peel. We also
carry out basic physical properties in our ozone cabinets, hot air ovens and
chill cabinet. This enables us to test materials in a range of temperatures. We
also use reflux condensing equipment to age at the boiling point of liquid, as
well as to age under UV light, temperature and humidity in our QUV accelerated
weathering tester.
