DTL can perform a wide range of property testing, from hardness to tensile. We do everything from rip fabric to determine its tear resistance, to burn testing to measure burn rates. The goal of such testing is to determine if the material meets the customer's quality needs. The retention of a material's properties can also be measured during and after simulated environmental exposure. This type of testing proves useful to analyze a material's basic quality, life expectancy, as well as provides important information for product development research.
