Overview
Development Center
The MOS R&D Center was established on October 1, 2013, as a testing institution equipped with state-of-the-art testing equipment that complies with international standards. It was founded to meet the increasingly diverse and precise needs of customers regarding rubber materials and products, enhance the reliability of test quality, and improve production efficiency through prompt testing and analysis.
In the challenging environment of Korea’s rubber industry, where the majority of companies are small and medium-sized enterprises,
producing highly reliable test results that meet international standards within a short timeframe has long been a significant hurdle.
However, since its establishment, the MOS R&D Center has designed and operated all its facilities, equipment, and systems to conform to international standard laboratory specifications. As a result, it now possesses the testing capabilities required for precise testing, analysis, and measurement of rubber products in accordance with international standards.
International Proficiency Testing Evaluation
Although it is difficult to make an objective
judgment on the reliability and precision of tests, such evaluations are generally assessed using
the index values from international proficiency
comparison programs. In 2015, MOS R&D Center
participated in the rubber material proficiency
comparison program conducted by CTS in the United States, which involved more than 120
testing laboratories worldwide. The Center took part in the tensile strength, hardness, and density test categories and received a favorable assessment of its test reliability and precision.
The evaluation criteria state that the closer the value is to zero, the higher the reliability, while values exceeding ±3.0 indicate a loss of reliability. The CTS evaluation indices for MOS R&D Center were as follows: 0.92 for tensile strength, 0.67 for elongation, -0.29 for hardness, and -0.16 for density, all of which represent a highly favorable evaluation.
