Bond Peel Adhesion Tester
The Bond Peel Adhesion Tester is designed to measure the adhesive or bond strength between two materials. Peel or adhesion testing is performed by applying a tensile load to separate bonded materials under controlled conditions. Depending on the application, the test can be conducted using one of the following methods:
- T-Peel Test: Two flexible materials are pulled axially away from each other, forming a “T” shape.
- 180° Peel Test: A flexible material is peeled away from a rigid substrate, with both held vertically.
- 90° Peel Test: A flexible material is peeled from a rigid substrate held horizontally.
For example, separating the backing from an adhesive bandage is a T-peel test; removing the backing from a blister pack may involve a 90° or 180° peel; and peeling the seal from a yogurt container typically involves a 90° peel. Variations in material flexibility, thickness, and shape may require different grips and fixtures to ensure accurate and repeatable testing.

Compression Apparatus – Strain
Compression set at constant strain is defined as the difference between the original thickness of a test specimen and its thickness after recovery, expressed as a percentage of the initial compression applied. This test measures the ability of vulcanized rubber to retain its elastic properties after being subjected to prolonged compression under constant strain.
In this method, cylindrical disc-shaped test specimens are compressed to a specified strain and maintained under controlled temperature conditions for a defined period. After the compression period, the specimens are allowed to recover, and the compression set value is calculated.
The “IKON” Compression Set Apparatus (Constant Strain Type) is specifically designed to determine the compression set of vulcanized natural and synthetic rubber materials, ensuring accurate and reliable testing results for quality control and research applications.

Compression Set Apparatus At Strain
Compression set at constant strain is defined as the difference between the original thickness of a test specimen and its thickness after recovery, expressed as a percentage of the initially applied compression. This test measures the ability of vulcanized rubber to retain its elastic properties after prolonged compression under a constant strain.
In this method, cylindrical disc-shaped specimens are subjected to a fixed compression for a specified time at a controlled temperature. After removal of the load and allowing the specimen to recover, the compression set value is calculated.
The IKON Compression Set Apparatus is specially designed to determine the compression set of vulcanized natural and synthetic rubbers under constant strain conditions. It is available in the following two models:

Compression Set Apparatus At Stress
Compression set testing under constant stress is used to evaluate the ability of rubber compounds to retain their elastic properties after prolonged exposure to a specified compressive load under static conditions.
The “IKON” Compression Set Apparatus (Constant Stress Type) is designed for accurate determination of compression set characteristics under a constant applied load. The unit comprises a calibrated loading spring, precision-ground and chromium-plated carbon steel plates, and a screw mechanism for compressing the spring. The complete assembly is mounted on a rigid metallic base and is portable for convenient use.
During testing, the specimen is placed between the compression plates and the required load is applied by compressing the calibrated spring. The applied load can be determined from a load-deflection graph, with spring deflection indicated by a pointer on a fixed scale. The entire assembly can be placed inside an oven to conduct tests at elevated temperatures.
The apparatus features a durable dark grey hammer-tone painted body with bright chrome-plated components for corrosion resistance.
Optional accessories include molding and cutting dies for specimen preparation and a thickness gauge for accurate measurement of specimen thickness.

Din Abrasion Tester
The DIN Abrasion Tester is designed to determine the abrasion resistance of rubber materials, including vulcanized thermoset rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers. It evaluates the material’s ability to withstand abrasive and frictional wear under controlled test conditions.
This tester is particularly useful for materials that are exposed to continuous wear in actual service applications such as tyres, conveyor drive belts, and shoe soles. By measuring volume loss due to abrasion, the DIN Abrasion Tester provides reliable and repeatable results for research, product development, and quality control purposes.

Flexometer
The Flexometer is designed to assess the flexing endurance of light leathers and their surface finishes. It is widely used to evaluate the ability of light leathers—such as those used in shoe uppers, gloves, and garments—to withstand repeated flexing without cracking. The ASIAN Flexometer provides accurate and reliable determination of flex resistance under controlled conditions.
The equipment is built on a rigid metallic base plate for stability and durability. The test specimen is securely held between a pair of stationary and oscillating grips. These specially designed grips allow quick fixing and removal of the specimen and are shaped in accordance with standard specifications.
A six-digit electronic counter with key reset and backup memory is provided to record the total number of flexing cycles completed by the specimen. The instrument is capable of performing a large number of flex cycles per test, making it suitable for laboratory and quality control applications.

Folding Endurance Tester
The Schopper Type Folding Endurance Tester is designed to determine the ability of paper to withstand repeated bending, folding, and creasing. It is widely used to evaluate the durability and service life of paper under continuous flexing conditions.
The instrument allows testing of two specimens simultaneously, improving efficiency. Spring-loaded clamps apply a standard load of 1000 g during testing to ensure consistent and reliable results.
The tester is equipped with two six-figure impulse counters with hold facility. When the first specimen ruptures, the corresponding head stops automatically while the second continues running. The machine automatically switches off once the second specimen breaks. The front panel includes start and stop push buttons with a light indicator to show the motor’s on/off status. An aluminum sheet cover protects the unit from dust and contamination.
Two independently operating folding units enable faster and more efficient testing.

IRHD Hardness Tester
The IRHD Hardness Tester is used to determine the indentation resistance of elastomeric and rubber materials by measuring the depth of penetration of a spherical ball indenter under a specified load. It is widely used in rubber and polymer testing laboratories for accurate hardness evaluation.
In this method, an initial contact force is applied to the indenter and the penetration is set to zero. The force is then increased to a specified total load, and the resulting depth of penetration is measured. The IRHD value is directly related to the depth of indenter penetration — the smaller the penetration, the higher the hardness value.
For highly elastic materials, IRHD values are generally comparable to Shore A hardness values. An IRHD value of 0 indicates a material with zero Young’s Modulus, while an IRHD value of 100 represents a material with an infinite Young’s Modulus.
