PolyK engineers have many years of direct experience in conducting very specialized high-voltage dielectric tests of electrical insulating materials. We follow established industrial standards or best practice when there is no standard in providing our testing services. The physical parameters we routinely measure include relative permittivity (or dielectric constant, ASTM D150), DC and AC resistance or conductance (ASTM D257), breakdown voltage (ASTM D149 and D3755), and leakage current. We have true experts in test equipment and strive to use the best testing conditions in our lab to get the most reliable results for you. www.polyk-lab.com

Test will be performed by our experienced engineers in-house in our 18,000 sf R&D facilities in State College PA, USA!
