EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 10640 testing. This standard provides a methodology for assessing the aging of polymeric systems at outdoor exposures as well as accelerated weathering in the laboratory.
This methodology mainly applies to photoaging, but can also be applied to thermal aging.
The methodology describes analyzes that follow chemical changes that control the degradation of the physical properties of materials during photoaging. The main procedure is based on IR spectroscopy analysis and is described in the standard.
In addition, UV spectroscopy is used to monitor the behavior of certain additives and to identify the source of discoloration (degradation of pigments and colorants or polymer yellowing) in polymeric materials.
Application examples of this methodology are provided in an appendix to guide the interpretation of the results.
