Services

Etim carries out a wide range of mechanical tests on all types of polymers and composite materials at temperatures ranging from -185°C to +300°C.​

Mechanical characterization tests

ETIM carries out thermal and/or physico-chemical characterization tests allowing the analysis of raw materials, materials and/or parts.

Physico-chemical analysis

Etim carries out all the operations required to prepare your test specimens for testing: layout layout, machining, installation of stubs, installation of strain gages, screwing equipment.

Preparation of specimens

ETIM performs macro and micrographic analyzes to control material health defects on a section of the part and to confirm the layup sequences…​

Micrographic analyzes

ETIM carries out paint and varnish characterizations on coated parts (metal, etc.).

Characterization of paint coatings, corrosion

Etim can help you carry out the aging and fluid resistance tests you need to characterize your materials and parts.

Climatic ageing tests, fluid resistance

The composite testing laboratory ETIM, a CETIM subsidiary, meets the growing composites market demand. Through our composite and polymer testing laboratory, we carry out production monitoring tests requiring very short lead times and more or less complex materials tests as part of product/process validation for R&D.

JEC World Paris 2026 – come and meet us at Hall 6-D107

Meet ETIM and the CETIM experts in Hall 6-D107 at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition center. Contact us to obtain an invitation and an appointment for this international composite materials show and take advantage of discussing with us on your needs for R&D materials testing, specimen preparation if you carry out your own tests or for your series production monitoring tests.
New equipment for R&D mechanical testing

New equipment for R&D mechanical testing

Etim is strengthening its mechanical testing laboratory with a new 150 kN INSTRON Traction machine. With its enlarged frame allowing the installation of a cryogenic enclosure (-185°C), it is equipped with a contactless video extensometer as well as all the acquisition means necessary for materials R&D tests (correlation video, acoustic emission, extensometry gauges, etc.).
Deployment of the AQUIWEB MES for managing the scheduling of the ETIM Laboratory

Deployment of the AQUIWEB MES for managing the scheduling of the ETIM Laboratory

We have just put Astrée Software’s AQUIWEB MES into production, coupled with our ERP. Given the complexity of planning laboratory activities, which consist of a multitude of very small test batches, more than 6,000 operations need to be planned on average in the different areas of the laboratory. AQUIWEB, with its scheduling module, will allow us to optimize planning and deadlines for better visibility for our customers while dematerializing our paper test ranges.
