Ozone resistance tests reproduce the conditions of exposure to controlled concentrations of this gas, which is responsible for the premature degradation of rubber and elastomeric materials. The test is essential for sectors such as the automotive and aerospace industries, and is recommended for pipes, gaskets, bellows, fuel hoses, tyres and silicone joints.
Our tools allow you to recreate environmental conditions by controlling key parameters such as: temperature (between +5 and +70°C), relative humidity (40-90%) and ozone concentration (between 0 and 500 pphm), in accordance with reference standards ISO 1431-1, ASTM D 1171, SAE J 30 and UNI EN ISO 7326.

This test allows the evaluation of surface cracking and chemical degradation on elastomers, plastics and polymer coatings through exposure of the material to a controlled atmosphere with specific concentrations of ozone, without the application of mechanical stress.
The material is exposed to ozone under controlled mechanical stress, simulating real-life conditions in which the component is subjected to stress. This test is essential for verifying the resistance of seals, rubber hoses and elastomeric components used in the automotive and industrial sectors.
This test combines exposure to ozone with variations in temperature and humidity to reproduce extreme environmental conditions, and is used to verify the durability of polymeric materials intended for outdoor use, such as gaskets, coatings and electrical insulators.
This test evaluates the degradation of insulating materials for electrical applications by analysing the formation of microcracks and the loss of mechanical properties due to prolonged exposure to ozone. It is a crucial test for ensuring the safety and reliability of cables and electrical components in critical environments.
All analyses can be structured in a completely customised manner, based on customer requirements. We offer tailor-made tests for materials, conditions of use and required regulations, ensuring reliable and targeted results.
