Durability Testing and Degradation Studies of Polymers

Think your product is durable? Put it to the test!

In the rapidly evolving world of materials science, understanding the durability and degradation behavior of polymers is paramount for ensuring reliable and long-lasting products. Polymers, while versatile and highly useful, can deteriorate under various environmental factors such as elevated temperatures, UV radiation, and exposure to certain chemicals. This degradation can significantly affect a product's performance in its intended service environment.

At ExcelPlas, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive durability testing services for polymers, enabling you to understand how your products will perform over time. Our suite of testing solutions simulates real-world exposure conditions through accelerated methods, providing crucial insights into the expected service lifetime of your components. This predictive capability ensures that your product is fit-for-purpose and suitable for its intended application.

We offer a wide array of tests to thoroughly assess polymer durability, including:

  • Heat Aging: Evaluates the effects of long-term exposure to elevated temperatures on polymer stability and performance.
  • Chemical Resistance Testing: Assesses the ability of polymers to withstand exposure to specific chemicals.
    • Bent Strip Testing: Measures the stress cracking resistance of polymers under the influence of bending forces.
    • ESCR Testing (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance)**: Determines the resistance of polymers to stress cracking under specific environmental conditions.
  • Immersion Testing: Evaluates the effects of prolonged exposure to liquids on polymer integrity.
  • Cyclic Fatigue: Assesses the durability of polymers when subjected to repeated loading and unloading cycles.
  • Accelerated Creep: Measures the long-term deformation behavior of polymers under constant stress over time.

In addition to our testing services, ExcelPlas actively engages in research and development, conducting in-depth degradation studies to push the boundaries of polymer understanding and innovation. Our expert team collaborates closely with clients to provide tailored solutions that meet specific testing requirements and objectives.

ExcelPlas is your partner in ensuring the durability and reliability of your polymer products. Our cutting-edge facilities and rigorous testing methodologies provide the insights necessary for informed decision-making, product development, and market success.
