Ageing tests for plastics

Durability and quality assurance in various industries

Ageing tests are essential to ensure the durability and stability of plastics in a wide range of applications. In the automotive industry, they ensure the durability of bumpers and interior trim.
In the construction industry, they protect window frames and seals from environmental influences. The electronics industry relies on these tests to maintain the insulating properties of plastic components, while the packaging industry uses tests to ensure the strength of plastic packaging over the entire storage period. In medical technology, ageing tests ensure that plastics in devices and implants meet the highest quality and safety standards.

Our specialized test methods specifically simulate environmental factors such as UV radiation, temperature stress and chemical influences in order to detect potential material weaknesses such as cracking, colour changes or embrittlement at an early stage. Accelerated test methods provide manufacturers with fast and reliable results that give them a decisive advantage in product development
