Aging Accelerated & Real-time

The introduction of new or modified products to the marketplace requires the assurance that they can be stored for an extended period (from one to five years) without any decrease in performance that ma Accelerated Aging Chamber

y affect safety and efficacy when the products are used.

It is necessary to conduct accelerated aging (ASTM F 1980) tests to provide experimental data in support of performance and shelf-life claims for these products until full-period or Real-time aged samples become available.

A procedure, called the "10 degree rule" or simplified protocol for Accelerated aging was developed around the collision theory based Arrhenius model. When applied to well characterised polymer systems over moderate temperature ranges, the test results obtained can be within the required degree of accu Accelerated Aging Curve racy.

Figure 1. Accelerated aging of polymers (time versus temperature), showing the time (in weeks) equivalent to 1 year of room temperature aging when a polymer is heat-aged at a selected temperature (°C). (Q10+ 10°C reaction-rate constant, assuming a room temperature of 22°C.)

To satisfy the demand for both Accelerated and Real Time aging Anecto have the following dedicated facilities available.
