Our Intro

Introduction

Finetech Engineering manufactures a comprehensive range of laboratory testing equipment for the rubber and elastomer industry. Rubber components are subjected to extreme conditions in service — repeated flexing, compression, abrasion, heat, and chemical exposure. Our instruments are designed to evaluate how vulcanised rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, and natural rubber compounds perform under these real-world conditions, in compliance with ASTM, ISO, IS 3400, DIN, and JIS standards.

From abrasion resistance and flex crack growth to rebound resilience and compression set, Finetech Engineering builds the testing equipment that rubber manufacturers, tyre companies, footwear makers, automotive component suppliers, and independent testing labs depend on for accurate compound evaluation and quality control.

Every instrument we manufacture is backed by ISO 9001:2015 and CE certification, with professional calibration services and Annual Maintenance Contracts available. And because we also manufacture specimen cutters, moulds, and hydraulic presses, we can supply everything your rubber testing lab needs — from sample preparation to final test result.

Our Products

At Finetech Engineering, our experience drives the design and manufacturing of every product in this category. We understand the importance of accuracy, consistency, and performance in testing processes, which is why each product is built to meet real industry requirements.

Rubber Industry Products

DIN Abrasion Tester
The DIN Abrasion Tester measures the wear resistance of rubber materials. It is widely used to evaluate durability and performance under friction conditions.
Demattia flex tester
This tester evaluates the flex cracking resistance of rubber materials under repeated stress. It helps determine how materials perform under continuous bending conditions.
Pendulum Rebound Resilience Tester
This equipment measures the resilience or elasticity of rubber materials. It provides insights into energy return and material performance under dynamic conditions.
Ross flex tester
The Ross Flex Tester is used to assess the flex resistance of rubber and elastomer materials. It helps identify crack formation and durability under repeated flexing.
compression set
This tester measures the ability of rubber to return to its original shape after compression. It is essential for evaluating sealing materials and long-term performance.
Bennewart Flex Tester
The Bennewart Flex Tester evaluates the flexing endurance of rubber materials under continuous movement. It is commonly used for quality control and product durability testing.

We support ASTM (D412, D624, D395, D813, D1052, D2632, D2240, D5963), ISO (37, 34-1, 815, 132, 4649, 4662, 868), IS 3400 (all relevant parts), DIN (53516, 53512, 53522), and JIS standards. Every instrument is built to the standards your auditors expect.
IS 3400 is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) master standard for methods of testing vulcanised rubber. It has multiple parts covering tensile (Part 1), tear (Part 3), compression set (Part 10), flex cracking (Part 7, 8), abrasion (Part 4), hardness (Part 5), and more. Many Indian government tenders (GeM portal) and domestic rubber manufacturers specify IS 3400. Finetech equipment supports all relevant parts of IS 3400.
Yes. We provide complete rubber lab setup consultation. We will recommend the right combination of testing machines, specimen cutters, test moulds, and presses based on your compounds, standards, and testing volume. Contact us for a single bundled quote.
