Low Temperature Tester & Hot Set Tester – Standards-Compliant Testing at Extreme Temperatures
Elastocon’s low temperature and hot set testers are designed for precise evaluation of material behavior under extreme temperature conditions. They offer reliable, standards-compliant solutions – especially for rubber and elastomer materials.
1. Low Temperature Testing with the ET 01-II TR Tester
The ET 01-II is specifically developed for TR testing according to ISO 2921 and ASTM D1329. It measures the temperature-dependent retraction of pre-stretched specimens – a key method for determining the low-temperature properties of elastomers.
✅ Performs Temperature Retraction (TR) testing
✅ 6 test stations for efficient parallel testing
✅ Fully automated test procedure with continuous length measurement
✅ Automatic test stop when the defined retraction level is reached
2. Additional Standardized Low Temperature Tests
Elastocon systems also support:
✔ Gehman Test according to ISO 1432
✔ Brittleness Test according to ISO 812
✔ Low Temperature Compression Set according to ISO 815-2
These features ensure full coverage of the most common low-temperature test standards for rubber materials.
3. EC 17 – TR Test Software
The EC 17 Windows software is an essential part of the TR test system, providing an intuitive and standards-based testing workflow.
✅ Easy setup and real-time result display
✅ Side-by-side comparison of multiple tests
✅ Automated reporting according to standards
✅ Display of TR10, TR30, TR50, and TR70 values
✅ Export function for further data processing (e.g., Excel)
With EC 17, you stay in full control of your low temperature testing – efficient, precise, and compliant.
With Elastocon’s low temperature testing systems, you meet all the requirements for reliable, standards-compliant testing of elastomer materials under extreme conditions.
ES 07-II – Hot Set Tester for Hot Melt Adhesives
The ES 07-II is specifically designed for determining the Shear Adhesion Failure Temperature (SAFT) of hot melt adhesives. It combines precise temperature control, automated test procedures, and reliable sample monitoring – ideal for quality control, R&D, and material comparison.
1. Application & Test Principle
The ES 07-II operates based on the proven SAFT method (Shear Adhesion Failure Temperature):
✅ Testing under controlled, rising temperature until adhesive bond failure
✅ Simultaneous testing of up to 6 samples for increased efficiency
✅ Individual timers per test station for accurate failure time detection
✅ Standards-compliant procedure with high repeatability
2. Technical Highlights
The ES 07-II offers a range of advanced features:
✅ Enhanced sensor technology for precise detection of sample failure
✅ Reliable results even with low test loads down to 100 g
✅ Fully automated test process with accurate result logging
✅ Durable design – built for everyday use in laboratories and production settings
The ES 07-II SAFT tester delivers powerful and reliable performance for standardized evaluation of the temperature resistance of hot melt adhesives – precise, dependable, and efficient.
