Processability Program for Plastic Automotive Materials

Automotive component materials testing and characterisation program, for the processability approval of polymer materials and compounds.

The Intertek polymers and plastics automotive material testing and characterisation program shortens development and production lead times by testing raw materials and compounds in its final form, after an initial selection by product specification. The program covers mechanical characteristics, processability and the environmental impact of plastics, from bumper to interior blends. Automotive plastic components will be tested to automotive testing standards, including VDA, DIN, ISO, ASTM and OEM-specific.   

Material selection and material development are important parts in today's innovative automotive materials industry. Quality, availability, and cost reduction are very important factors for the automotive market. The experience of our automotive plastics experts support and guide companies in order to fulfil these market demands.   

In the automotive plastics processing approval program, plastic raw materials are characterized by:   

• Technical data for processing 
• Mechanical properties  
• Thermal properties 
• Environmental influences  
• Analytical testing 

The program offers the opportunity to assess the materials and compounds on laboratory scale. The program is adjusted to clients needs and can be performed for every stage of your development or production processes.
