Some of Our Degradation Properties Testing Services

Thermal Degradation

We assess the response of plastic materials to elevated temperatures, determining their ability to withstand heat without significant degradation, loss of mechanical properties, or changes in structure.

UV Degradation

We evaluate the resistance of plastic materials to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause discoloration, embrittlement, or degradation of the material over time. This test helps assess the material's performance in outdoor or UV-exposed applications.

Chemical Degradation

We study the effect of various chemicals, acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive substances on plastic materials, determining their resistance to chemical attack, degradation, or leaching of additives.

Environmental Stress Cracking

We assess the susceptibility of plastic materials to environmental stress cracking, which occurs when a combination of chemicals and mechanical stress leads to cracks or failures in the material.

Moisture Absorption

We measure the extent to which plastic materials absorb moisture when exposed to humid or wet environments, helping evaluate dimensional changes, loss of properties, or susceptibility to microbial growth.

Mechanical Property Changes

We evaluate the impact of degradation on the mechanical properties of plastic materials, including changes in strength, flexibility, hardness, or impact resistance over time.
