Since 2003, Beier has been providing reliable testing solutions for plastic and rubber materials, helping manufacturers evaluate durability and improve product performance.
Rubber components used in gaskets, insulation cables, seals, and tires are constantly exposed to environmental factors, including ozone in the air. Over time, ozone reacts with rubber at a molecular level, causing cracking and material degradation, which reduces lifespan and functionality. The ozone aging test chamber accelerates this process by simulating high-concentration ozone exposure, allowing manufacturers to predict material performance and identify potential weaknesses before products reach the market.
Plastic products used outdoors face challenges from sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and humidity, which can lead to surface chalking, cracking, warping, and even structural failure. These issues are especially critical for materials used in automotive, construction, and electronic applications, where durability is essential. Our ozone aging test chamber and xenon arc weathering test chamber replicate months or years of outdoor exposure in a controlled laboratory setting. These tests provide valuable insights into how plastics and rubbers react to environmental stressors, helping manufacturers refine formulations and enhance long-term reliability.
The following are some of the standards referenced for plastic and rubber durability testing:
- ASTM Standards: ASTM D1435, ASTM D2565, ASTM D4364, ASTM D529, ASTM 1149
- ISO Standards: ISO 1431, ISO 105 B03, ISO 4892-2, ISO 877-2
- GB/T Standards: GB/T 16422-2, GB/T 7762, GB/T 2951.1, GB/T 13642
- JIS Standards: JIS K6259, JIS B7753
Our ozone aging test chamber is widely used to evaluate the durability of rubber materials under ozone exposure in various industries, including:
- Automotive Industry: Weather-resistant seals, gaskets, and tires used in vehicles.
- Industrial Use: Cables and insulation layers commonly found in manufacturing and construction applications.
- Medical Sector: Rubber gloves and protective clothing for medical use.
- Consumer Goods: Everyday rubber boots, work shoes, and sports footwear, including rain boots and industrial safety shoes.
Xenon arc weathering, thermal aging, and thermal shock test chambers are used to test the durability of materials exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Applications include:
- Automotive Components: Parts subjected to UV radiation and temperature changes.
- Construction Materials: Plastics, coatings, and building materials for weather resistance.
- Sports Equipment: Plastic sports gear for long-term durability.
- Outdoor Lighting: Solar-powered outdoor lights and plastic furniture, exposed to the elements.
