Stage 5: Repeatability Testing
For each batch mix, destructive testing (molding, shear and specific gravity) verifies a product's integrity prior to production use. Established upper/lower tolerances must be met before being approved.
Baseline results have been determined at an independent lab for comparison to ongoing in-house performance repeatability testing (Friction Assessment Screening Test - FAST). The coefficient of friction outcome indicates proper formulation performance.
