Featured Testing Standards for Presto Quality Solutions
Consistency in the performance of the product and the consumer experience depends on the accuracy in the assessment of product formulation and packaging, in this case, cosmetics and personal care products. Presto Stantest offers solutions to the specialized testing instruments of mechanical equipment to fit the changing quality requirements in this industry in India and other international markets.
Texture Analysis
Just like the objective testing of food textures, cosmetic formulations can be tested with regard to their feel and functionality. Conventionally, subjective evaluation of touch-and-feel might be subject to many variations, and thus, it is hard to provide consistency. Through a computer-controlled force testing system, these miscellaneous qualities of the senses can be converted into ample, quantifiable data. This will help the formulators to optimize the composition of the product and its stability and perform a consistent check of the quality in the production cycle. The outcome is that there is enhanced repeatability, less operator dependence, and certain benchmarking of products.
Applicator and Dispenser Performance
In most instances, cosmetic packaging acts as part of product delivery in that it acts as an applicator or dispenser. Particular items include twist-up lipsticks, removable top lids of lip tints, mascara wands, and roll-on antiperspirants; hence, such components have a direct bearing on usability and consumer satisfaction. The mechanical testing is very important in the process of measuring the force, torque, and durability of such systems. Presto Stantest devices enable the manufacturers to measure both the texture of the formulation and the functionality of the applicator in a single platform, with the necessary consistency of manipulation between the production batches.
The Presto Stantest force and torque curve has become common in the cosmetics and personal care sector due to its adoption. These solutions allow the brands and their manufacturing partners to ensure the high-quality levels of products, their consistency, and sufficient performance, as well as high consumer satisfaction in the various markets.

TP310 Portable Color Measurement

Tensile Testing Machine Digital
It is highly recommended for evaluating the tensile strength of products and materials. The equipment is based on the Constant Rate of Traverse (CRT) principle. It is equipped with an upper jaw and a lower jaw. Universal Tensile Testing Machine is a reliable piece of equipment which is widely used for checking tensile strength of a product/sample. One of the most common mechanical testing techniques used to determine tensile strength, this is a method wherein controlled tension is applied to a sample until it fully fails.
Thus, the material properties of the sample can be easily determined by this test. It involves measuring the force required to elongate a sample under test to breaking point. Using this test, manufacturers and quality managers are able to determine the core strength of their products.

Box Compression Tester Digital
Box Compression Tester is a consistent tool to indicate the Compression strength of cardboard boxes so that it does not get deformed or crushed when stacked one above the other during storage or transit. Cardboard boxes are commonly stacked one on top of the other, during warehousing and storage. So, to ensure that they do not collapse during this, it is necessary to measure their box compression strength. It is based on the principle of measuring the maximum load that the material can withstand without breaking. This process is performed by applying a gradually increasing compression force to a sample until it fails using Box Compression Tester.
Using the equipment, a force-deformation curve can be obtained. This curve helps us evaluate the resistance of a package. It is a reliable equipment that provides accurate information regarding the compressive strength and durability of the package. It enables manufacturers to choose a more resistant packaging and to ensure the contents of the package don’t get damaged during stacking or transit.
Thus, corrugated boxes/cartons/paper packaging can be tested using Box Compression tester. It is widely used to determine compressive resistance, deformation and stacking capability of cartons and corrugated boxes.

UTM Machine – zeus ultimo 3
Presto Stantest Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a load-testing instrument that pulls or pushes a sample to measure its strength. The word "universal" is there for a reason — the same machine handles tension, compression, bending, peeling and shear, depending on the grip and fixture you fit to it.
Most people use it for tensile tests, where a specimen is gripped at both ends and slowly pulled apart. The force needed to break the sample tells you its strength, and the amount it stretches before breaking tells you about its flexibility. That is why the equipment is also known as a Universal Tensile Tester or a Universal tensile strength tester — the tensile test is its most common job.
In short, if you want one honest answer to "how strong is this material?", a tensile testing machine of this kind is the tool that gives it.

Spectrophotometer TP900
A color spectrophotometer TP900 is a tool used to study physical samples by reading their full-spectrum color response. It gives more freedom than a colorimeter because it works with different illuminant and observer settings and can function in different geometric setups.
With the D/8 optical layout suggested by CIE, the instrument captures SCI and SCE reflectance data from a sample. It shows major color difference formulas and color indexes across many color spaces with precise output.
The instrument fulfills the standards set by CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, GB 2893, GB/T 18833, 1507724/1, ASTM E1164, and DIN 5033 Teil 7.
