Automotive Chemical Testing

Automobiles and their components are subject to latent threat every time they take to the road. While road hazards cannot entirely be prevented, chemical testing of automobiles and their components can ensure optimal performance. We perform tests that offer extremely precise chemical analyses of metals, polymers, and other non-metallic materials to make sure your car complies with all safety requirements and strict industry standards.

Alkali Resistance Test

Like any other material or item, cars occasionally need to be cleaned and washed. Cleaning solutions with strong alkaline ingredients must be sprayed on in order to achieve effective cleaning. When alkaline cleaners are sprayed at high pressure, the anodized aluminum coating on the vehicle’s metallic body begins to deteriorate. One way to protect aluminum components from the corrosive effects of alkaline chemicals is to anodize them. This procedure entails oxidizing the metal by electrolyzing it in sulfuric acid in order to create a layer over it. We provide testing services for the purpose of assessing the anodized layer’s strength and resistance to corrosive effects from alkaline chemicals.

Fuel Resistance Test

Vehicle motor oils are made of petroleum-based compounds, and liquid fuels like gasoline and diesel are utilized to generate energy for operation. Additionally, they are always vulnerable to gasoline leaks and spills of fuel-based products. Fuels are extremely combustible, thus it is imperative that automakers make sure their products are prepared to stop any ignition damage in the event of a spill or leak. One method to address the possible risk is to apply paints that are resistant to fuel to the vehicle’s body. In order to precisely assess the extent to which the protective paint can prevent vehicle component irritation in the event of a spill or leak, we provide testing services in our laboratory.
Our automotive component testing services give you the reassurance that your products meet safety regulations, building consumer trust.
