DMA applied to advanced materials...
…and a variety of applications

Materials & Applications

Dynamic mechanical analysis is an accurate method of measuring the intrinsic mechanical properties of materials. Besides elastomers, polymers and composites, DMA can be applied to a wide range of other materials: asphalts, wood, paper, glass, ceramics, metals, alloys, foodstuffs, cosmetics…

Depending on the nature of the material and thanks to the large number of specimen holders available with Metravib DMA instruments, specimens with different geometrical forms can be analyzed, including sheets, cylinders, bars, films, gels, foams, liquids…

Over 50+ years of expertise in DMA material testing

Since 1969, Metravib has been developing instruments to characterise the mechanical properties of materials in order to meet requirements from both industrialists and academics.

Our range of dynamic mechanical analysis instruments has constantly incorporated new possibilities and thus enlarged its range of tests and analysis. As a result, it is capable of dealing with the complex mechanical behaviour of elastomers.

From a simple glass transition measurement to automated analysis of the shear modulus for thousands of specimens, we offer solutions that are suitable for all budgets and all technical requirements.
