Functional Durability Testing

Engineered to
Last Longer

Every silicone product we deliver passes rigorous functional durability validation. From sealing performance to repeated-use fatigue, we quantify real-world reliability before mass production.

9001 Certified
01 — Sealing & Fit

Sealing, Leak & Assembly Validation

Verifying airtight integrity, liquid retention and secure mating for folding cups, lids, bottle seals and multi-part assemblies.

Air Pressure Seal Test

Pressurized chamber testing to confirm airtight closure under positive and negative pressure differentials.

Standard: Hold 30 kPa / 60 sec

Liquid Leak Test

Inverted and shaken water retention test for cups, bottles and food storage containers across temperature ranges.

Standard: Zero leakage / 24 hr

Assembly Fit Check

Dimensional alignment and insertion force testing for multi-material and multi-part silicone assemblies.

Tolerance: ±0.1 mm
02 — Mechanical Strength

Tensile, Press, Load & Torque Analysis

01

Tensile Strength

Material pulled to break point to measure elongation and tear resistance.

≥ 8.5 MPa
02

Compression Test

Measuring rebound recovery after sustained compression over time.

≥ 95% Recovery
03

Load Bearing

Static and dynamic weight loading on placemats, trays and utensils.

Up to 15 kg
04

Torque Resistance

Twisting force tolerance for lids, caps and threaded silicone components.

0.8 – 2.5 N·m
03 — Fatigue Cycles

Folding, Opening & Repeat-Use Fatigue

Collapsible cups, folding bowls and hinge-based products are tested for thousands of repeated motion cycles — simulating years of daily consumer use in days.

Automated folding cycle test rig
10K

Folding Cycle Test

Collapsible cups and bowls folded and unfolded 10,000+ times without crack, deformation or sealing loss.

5K

Open-Close Hinge Test

Lid flaps, snap closures and food storage openings cycled to ensure consistent spring-back performance.

∞

Repeat-Use Simulation

Dishwasher cycles, microwave reheating and hot-cold alternation simulating 3–5 years of consumer handling.

04 — Real-World Simulation

Drop, Abrasion & Scenario Testing

Drop Impact Test

Products dropped from 1.5m onto hardwood and concrete across all 6 faces to verify structural integrity.

  • • No cracks or splits
  • • No functional loss
  • • Appearance intact

Abrasion & Wear

Taber abrasion and surface scrape tests to validate print, color and texture retention over long-term use.

  • • 1,000+ scrub cycles
  • • Color ΔE ≤ 1.5
  • • No ink peel-off

Scenario Simulation

Oven, freezer, dishwasher and outdoor environment cycles reproducing full product lifecycle conditions.

  • • −40°C to +230°C
  • • 500+ dishwash cycles
  • • UV exposure 300 hr

Test Records & Issue Resolution

Every test result is logged, traceable and feeds back into mold, material and process optimization.

Full Traceability

  • Batch-Level Records
    Each production batch tagged with full test history — raw material lot, operator, machine, outcome.
  • Digital Test Reports
    PDF reports delivered to clients on request, including photos, measurements and SOP compliance.
  • Archive Policy
    Records retained for 3+ years, supporting warranty claims and audit requirements.

Closed-Loop Improvement

01
Root Cause Analysis
Any failure triggers 8D investigation on mold, material or process variables.
02
Corrective Action
Immediate countermeasure implemented and verified across subsequent batches.
03
Preventive Update
SOP, tooling and QC checklists revised to eliminate recurrence permanently.
