ENVIRONMENTAL SIMULATION
Environmental simulation covers a wide range of procedures designed to assess the durability and resilience of plastics and final products under defined environmental conditions. The objective: ensure that your materials remain functionally stable and compliant even under stress, exposure, and aging.
As a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, we provide comprehensive environmental simulation services. We verify compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards and determine the real-world performance of your materials. We perform tests on raw materials, molded specimens, and mechanically extracted component samples. If required, we can mold test specimens from your granulate.
Our environmental simulation services include:
- Chemical resistance
- Climatic storage (cyclic testing)
- Constant-condensation climate
- Lightfastness
- Sunlight simulation
- Heat-light aging
