Test The Effect Of Environment On Polymers With Accelerated Weathering Tester

There are numerous factors that adversely affect the quality of the polymers over a period of time. After a usage of a product for a given period of time, the quality of the polymers starts affecting. Normal wear and tear are usually seen  in every product but apart from this, there are numerous properties that get affected due to the environmental exposure and related factors. 

The environmental factors that leave a great impact on the properties of a polymer are solar radiation, moisture, rain, acid, humidity ultraviolet radiations, etc. Solar radiation greatly affects the chemical bond of the materials due to the reaction that are initiated due to the absorption of sunlight by the material. Ultraviolet is another major component of the sunlight that breaks down chemical bonding of the material. This degradation is popularly known as the UV degradation of the polymers. Moreover, different temperatures also affect the quality of the material in various manners. When the polymers are exposed to different temperatures, the breaking in the chemical bonding will be accelerated. At high temperatures, the molecules of the polymers move at a fast rate, and this will enhance the photochemical process that result in degradation of the polymers. Moisture in the form of dew drops, rain, moisture, frost, and humidity, are usually absorbed by the synthetic materials that negatively affect the polymers and degrade the quality of the materials.

To test the effects of different temperature and ecological conditions on the polymers, it is necessary to check the effect of weathering on the polymers, to study the impact of properties under specific conditions. Presto Stantest offers high-quality of accelerated weathering tester which is the best way to explore the impact of ecological factors that degrade the quality of the polymers.
