EN ISO 2440 Accelerated Aging Tests for Flexible and Rigid Cellular Polymeric Materials

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 2440 standard. This standard specifies laboratory procedures for flexible and rigid cellular polymeric materials intended to mimic the effects of naturally occurring reactions such as oxidation or hydrolysis with moisture. Physical properties of interest are measured before and after applying the indicated treatments.

Test conditions are given only for open cell latex, both open and closed cell polyurethane foams, and closed cell polyolefin foams. Conditions for other materials will be added as needed.

The effect of aging procedures on any physical property of the material can be studied, but those that are normally tested are either the elongation and tensile properties or the compression or indentation hardness properties.

These tests are not necessarily related to service behavior or aging due to light exposure.

If desired, the aging conditions contained in this document can be applied to composite structures containing any of the above types of cellular materials.

This could be helpful in investigating possible interactions between cellular materials and other substrates. Composite structures may be in the form of finished finished products or representative small samples cut from them.
