In-House Testing Laboratory & Batch Lot Traceability
Every production compound compounded at Horiaki's Chennai MEPZ-SEZ facility undergoes multi-stage physical, chemical, and dimensional validation to ensure zero-defect OEM compliance.
Laboratory Testing Capabilities
Every export consignment includes Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Test Reports (MTR).
Oscillating Disc Rheometer (MDR 3000 / ODR)
Monitors elastomeric cure curves, minimum torque (ML), maximum torque (MH), scorch time (ts2), and 90% optimum cure time (tc90) to guarantee batch-to-batch polymer consistency.
Universal Tensile Testing Machine (UTM)
Microprocessor-controlled stress-strain load cell testing tensile strength (MPa), 100% and 300% modulus, and ultimate elongation percentage on standard dumbbell test specimens.
Video Measuring Machine (VMM Optical Inspection)
High-resolution optical cross-section inspection for O-ring internal diameter (ID), cross-section thickness (CS), parting line flash (< 0.05 mm), and complex gasket geometries.
Compression Set & Recovery Test Bench
Standardized cylindrical specimens compressed to 25% deflection inside temperature-controlled convection ovens (-40°C to +300°C) for 24h, 72h, or 168h test cycles.
Fluid Immersion & Accelerated Heat Aging Ovens
Evaluates percentage volume change, hardness drift (Shore A), and tensile retention after prolonged immersion in IRM 901, 902, 903 oils, coolants, and harsh acids.
Hardness Durometer Testing (Shore A & D / IRHD)
Calibrated digital Shore A, Shore D, and Micro-IRHD durometers with motorized test stands to eliminate operator variance on finished O-rings and custom seals.
Official Quality Registration Certificates Available
Inspect original high-resolution certificate scans issued by accredited registrars for quality management, automotive compliance, and occupational environmental standards.
