Application Overview
PTFE Tensile Strength Testing for a New In-House Facility
IPC Industrial Plastics Canada created a testing facility from the ground up and needed a reliable way to perform tensile strength testing on PTFE products. Establishing this capability was a crucial step in supporting their internal material testing process.
By implementing a Mark-10 Model F755-IM system, the company gained the capacity and features needed to test PTFE material in-house while supporting a smooth, reliable, and repeatable testing workflow.
The Challenge
Building a Testing Facility from the Ground Up
What specific challenge or problem were you trying to solve before choosing our equipment?
“Our establishment created a testing facility from the ground up, requiring us to procure everything from desk chairs to tensile testers. Having a blank slate allowed us to carefully evaluate our tensile testing needs and we narrowed our search to include Mark-10.”
The Application
Testing Tensile Strength on PTFE Material
How are you using the Mark-10 system in your actual testing or production process?
“We are using the Mark-10 system to test tensile strength on PTFE material, which provides us with ultimate tensile strength, yield, and rupture results.”
The Results
Positive and Successful Testing Results
What measurable improvements or results have you seen since implementing our equipment?
“Since using the Mark-10, we have seen positive and successful results, giving us the visibility and consistency we need to confidently ship our products to customers.”
Why Mark-10
The Required Capacity, Features, and Reliability
Why did you choose Mark-10 over other options you considered?
“With assistance from Mark-10 and their distributor, we concluded that Model F755-IM would suit our needs with all the necessary features. The Mark-10 has met or exceeded the reliability of other models we’ve used in the past, at a significantly lower price point.”
Advice for Other Companies
A Smooth and Supportive Buying Process
What would you tell another company considering Mark-10 for a similar application?
“We would strongly encourage other companies to consider Mark-10. The entire process has been smooth, and Mark-10 has been nothing short of accommodating and understanding.
We never felt pressured to make a purchase, and they were very knowledgeable, which put our minds at ease when comparing with alternative companies.”
