TÜV SÜD expands testing capacities for plastics

As technological progress advances, the number of products made from plastics and compound materials is keeping pace. At the same time, weathering causes damage to plastic materials in the form of fading, cracking or brittleness which amounts to millions of euros every year. Reliable estimates of product lifespans can only be provided by laboratory testing. The Institute for Plastics of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH has now expanded its range of services by adding new test chambers for Xenon and UV testing and a climatic and ozone test chamber.

"These new high-tech test chambers will enable us to provide a more comprehensive and cost-effective range of materials testing services in future", affirms Marcus Demetz, director of the Institute for Plastics of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH. In quality assurance tests, experts investigate the lifespan and durability of non-metallic materials under exposure to environmental influences.
