Accelerated Weathering, Exposure and Ageing Testing for Polymers and Plastics.

Intertek provides accelerated ageing testing of polymers and plastics materials and products. Intertek laboratories test the resistance of polymeric products against chemicals, temperature, repeated sterilization or UV/ Xenon exposure. Intertek conducts ageing, weathering and exposure testing of products under defined conditions to heat, UV, chemicals and other stress for determination of critical properties before and after exposure.

Plastic and Polymer Ageing, Exposure and Weathering Tests include: 

  • Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR) tests (ASTM D1693)
  • Elevated temperature testing on properties of plastics by deterioration (ASTM D573)
  • Accelerated Weathering by QUV (ASTM D4329, ASTM D 4587)
  • Accelerated Weathering by QUV (ISO 4892, SAE J2020)
  • Materials Weathering tests (ASTM D 2565, ASTM D4459, ASTM G155, ISO 4892, SAE J1885, SAE J1960)
  • Xenon-Arc Exposure of Plastics Intended for Indoor or Outdoor Applications (ASTM D2565)
  • Impact resistance of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) rigid profiles (D4459)

Different accelerated exposure tests may be used depending on product type and application. Intertek is able to tailor ageing tests to follow customized procedures where suggested.
