Success Stories
“I have personally worked with Dia-Stron for nearly 20 years and have always found them to be extremely helpful and professional. Their technical knowledge on all aspects of hair testing is world-leading, which is invaluable to us in setting up our own testing facilities and something we are continually learning from. I look forward to working with them for the next 20 years!"
"As a scientist in the field of carbon fibre development, the automated LEX/LDS single fibre tensile tester from Dia-Stron is an indispensable tool in my research. Its reliability, user friendliness and high testing capacity provides me with accurate data in a short time and assists my daily work. After performing over 15,000 tensile tests, the equipment is still working perfect - that is what I call reliability!"
"Single fibre tensile testing was something we needed for a number of recycling research programmes at the NCC. Testing services offered by Dia-Stron proved to save us a lot of time and allowed us to focus on other aspects of the projects. Reports were always delivered in time and contained a thorough statistical analysis. Working with Dia-Stron has been a pleasure - their customer service is excellent, they are always transparent and super-helpful!"
"We are always looking for good partners who can assist (with) claim support. In this regard Dia-Stron have been outstanding. They’re experts in how to get the best out of the testing equipment they manufacture and their testing lab have always been so helpful in designing studies to optimise performance. They always go the extra mile to ensure we test our products to their full potential which is so helpful when claims substantiation is such a critical part of modern product development."
"We use the MTT175 for most of our haircare testing on shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and hair oils, to measure the smoothness of hair. We heavily use the MTT175 to give us robust data, especially as we conduct independent product reviews. The Dia-Stron team have a great depth of knowledge in hair science and have shown great expertise in their field. They have been great at trouble shooting and providing expert advice, and I look forward to working more with them in the future.”
