Press Releases

DateDescription
31.08.2011 The newly developed Instron CEAST AlOxide® thermal tester determines the Vicat softening temperature and HDT heat deflection temperature of plastics at temperatures up to 500 °C, allowing measurements to be conducted even on highly temperature resistant thermoplastics such as PEEK. Unlike conventional instruments, which use silicone oil as heating medium and typically offer maximum temperatures of 300 °C, the Instron CEAST AlOxide uses heat-resistant aluminium oxide powder in a fluid bed. The method is expected to be adopted in the relevant European standards in the near future.
