Materials Testing

Every ArcticAnchor™ is tested during injection and extrusion to ensure consistency. By verifying molecular stability and flow, we eliminate weak spots and guarantee reliability from the start.

Tests Performed

  • Tensile strength (ASTM E8/E8M)

  • Bearing response (ASTM D5961)

  • Compression & shear response (ASTM D6264)

  • Long-term creep & rupture (ASTM D2990)

  • Flexural creep & rupture (ASTM D794)

Tested. Certified. Trusted.

Certified by SGS, benchmarked to ASTM, and verified in-house by GQD. Arctic Anchor is tested at every level.

The Four Pillars of Testing

Every ArcticAnchor™ product is validated across four categories of testing: material science, environmental exposure, mechanical performance, and packaging durability. Together, these tests ensure consistency, safety, and quality control from the raw polymer to the rooftop installation.

Environmental Testing

We simulate decades of rooftop exposure through UV, humidity, and hot/cold chamber testing. From -40°C to +70°C, these cycles prove our systems resist fading, warping, and failure where other materials can’t.

Tests Performed

  • UV resistance (ISO 4892)

  • Extreme cold (-40°C, IEC 60068-2-1)

  • Extreme heat (+70°C, IEC 60068-2-2)

  • Humidity/moisture cycles (GB/T 2423.4-93)

  • Long-term fatigue under stress & temperature change (ASTM D1183)

Mechanical Testing

All Rail, Mini, and Pro Series snow guards are stress-tested with thousands of pounds of load until failure, far beyond real-world snow loads. Torque tests confirm screws stay locked under vibration and thermal expansion, ensuring system reliability.

Tests Performed

  • Rail stress testing (load to failure, 3,000+ lbs/ft)

  • Clamp torque testing (nylon-patched screws, anti-backout)

  • Mini & Pro series stress testing (load until failure, product-level validation)

Packaging & Transit Testing

We test packaging with drop and vibration simulations to mimic real shipping conditions. This ensures every order arrives undamaged and installation-ready, from our factory floor to your rooftop.
