Test Background
For finished or semi-finished products consisting primarily of plastic materials, it is important to evaluate the effects of exposure to heat, moisture, water spray and salt spray. The plastic environmental exposure test can evaluate the conditions in which plastics are exposed to heat and humidity, water spray and salt spray, as well as the changes in some important properties after a given exposure period. It is applicable to all plastic standard specimens, products or components.
Zhongke Testing Reliability Experiment Center has reliability testing capabilities for various plastics and provides professional environmental exposure testing services for plastics and related products.
Scope of tests
Plastic products or components are mainly divided into:
1. According to the molding method and product structure, it can be divided into compression molded products, blow molded products, and extrusion molded products.
2. According to different raw materials, it can be divided into polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene products, etc.
3. According to the classification of geometric shapes and uses, plastic shoes, wires, plastic containers, cables, etc. are common in daily necessities. In the production industry, there are plastic industrial parts and other products. In education, there are also plastic products for culture, education, and sports.
Test method
Determine one or several properties of the sample before exposure and after a given period of exposure under specified environmental conditions, and observe changes in appearance.
If necessary, drying or re-conditioning can be performed after exposure to obtain the same state as the original sample and in equilibrium with atmospheric humidity, and then the performance can be measured.
