MOLYMER MATEX is a general FRP manufacturing company.

Material tests are performed on a regular basis using test pieces based on evaluation of prototypes and standards at our company.
Acquired data is utilized for product development and quality management.
Here are some test examples.

Inspection and inspection equipment

– Appearance/dimensional inspection – check whether meeting standards or not. Measure and conduct visual check of materials for customer specifications or those requested for inspection. – Physical inspection – check strength, flexure, durability, flame resistance, etc. Tests are conducted strictly to check strength against various forces applied from outside, the degree of flexure, and Physical performance each material has in accordance with standards specified by customer specifications and those to meet requirements for requested inspections and quantify results.

Main inspection equipment

Bend/compression tester (hydraulic) Used for flexure test of structural FRP material using full-scale specimen – Ability: 100KN – Usable dimension: 30 x 350cm	Flexure/compression universal testing machine Used for flexure, compression and shearing tests
Tensile tester Used for tensile test – Ability: 100KN	Impact tester Used to measure impact strength under specific conditions.
Temperature (& Humidity) Chamber Control/maintain specific environmental conditions including temperature and humidity Temperature (& Humidity) Chamber	Weather meter Evaluate polish and change of color of FRP with JIS A1415 carbon-arc ultraviolet
45˚flammability tester Used for flammability test of JIS A1322 thin materials for building	Oxygen index flammability tester (flammability tester) Used for flammability test by oxygen index
