Studying and testing the durability of your product against a variety of exposure conditions
Different polymer formulations can deteriorate or degrade to varying extents when exposed to elevated temperatures, UV radiation or certain chemicals during service. Therefore, durability testing of polymers provides an understanding of how well a product will perform in an expected service environment over a specified period of time.
Testing under accelerated conditions will help to predict the service lifetime of components, or determine whether the product is fit-for-purpose and suitable for the application.
