ASTM Lab Testing


Continental Carbon Company’s Houston Laboratory also performs limited contract testing. The lab’s staff has extensive experience in tire and MRG compounding and testing as well as carbon black testing. The Houston Laboratory will perform customized, non-routine laboratory services in addition to standardized ASTM testing. Data interpretation and consultation services are available upon request. Testing turnaround time, depending on the type of testing and volume requested, is usually two to seven working days.


While the Laboratory does not currently have a published price list, contract pricing will be provided upon request. Pricing will be competitive with other contract laboratories and will reflect volume and testing frequency.


You may call the Houston Laboratory Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm to receive pricing information.
