Testing the ageing resistance of plastics

Testing the ageing resistance of plastics is essential in many industrial sectors and must retain their mechanical, thermal and chemical properties over the long term, even under demanding conditions. To ensure the durability and resistance of these materials, we offer comprehensive ageing tests in accordance with the relevant DIN EN ISO standards.

Our test methods:

  • Thermal ageing:

We use artificial thermal ageing to investigate the behavior of plastics at elevated temperatures over longer periods of time. This is particularly important for applications with high ambient temperatures or thermal loads.

  • UV and light ageing:

We use UV irradiation in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4892-2 to simulate the effects of sunlight and artificial radiation on plastics in order to evaluate their resistance to weathering and radiation.

  • Hydrolytic ageing:

Moisture and water absorption can affect material structures and mechanical properties. We test the hydrolytic resistance of plastics under different environmental conditions.

  • Chemical ageing:

We test the resistance of plastics to chemicals such as solvents, cleaning agents, oils or other aggressive substances in order to ensure the long-term integrity of the material.

  • Mechanical properties after ageing:

After ageing, we analyze changes in tensile strength, elasticity, fracture behaviour and other mechanical parameters in accordance with DIN EN ISO 527 (tensile test for plastics).

Relevant standards:

Our test methods are based on recognized standards such as

  • DIN EN ISO 4892-2: Artificial weathering of plastics
  • DIN EN ISO 527: Mechanical testing of plastics after ageing
  • DIN EN ISO 22088: Resistance to stress cracking

Our ageing tests provide you with a reliable assessment of material durability, which contributes to the optimization of products and compliance with regulatory requirements.
