Elastomer & Rubber Testing Services
Elastomers and rubber materials are essential components in products that require flexibility, resilience, sealing performance, and vibration damping. Their unique elastic behavior makes them highly effective across a wide range of industries, but also sensitive to factors such as temperature, environmental exposure, and long-term aging. At Genuine Testing, we provide comprehensive elastomer and rubber testing services to evaluate material performance, durability, and reliability under real-world operating conditions. As a trusted Contract Research Organization (CRO), we support manufacturers, engineers, and product developers with accurate data on elastomer behavior and performance. Our elastomer and rubber testing services help ensure that materials meet functional requirements, regulatory standards, and long-term reliability expectations.
Understanding Elastomer & Rubber Material Behavior
Elastomers differ significantly from rigid materials due to their ability to undergo large elastic deformation and recover their original shape. This behavior is influenced by formulation, crosslink density, fillers, and environmental conditions.
Key characteristics evaluated during elastomer and rubber testing include:
Elasticity and tensile strength
Compression set and resilience
Tear and abrasion resistance
Environmental and thermal stability
Aging and degradation behavior
Our Elastomer & Rubber Testing Capabilities
Genuine Testing offers a broad range of elastomer and rubber testing services designed to evaluate material behavior under mechanical, thermal, and environmental conditions. Our laboratory is equipped with specialized instrumentation to test natural and synthetic elastomers.

Mechanical, Environmental & Aging Evaluation
Elastomers are often exposed to repeated loading, environmental exposure, and long-term aging, which can significantly affect performance. At Genuine Testing, we evaluate how these factors impact elastomer properties and functionality.
Our evaluation approach includes:
Assessment of mechanical behavior under cyclic and static loads
Evaluation of environmental exposure effects such as heat and humidity
Analysis of aging-related changes in elasticity and strength
Comparison of new and aged material performance
Identification of degradation and failure mechanisms
