A test that simulates long time environmental conditions in a relatively short time.
Test procedures for subjecting PS label stock to special environmental conditions in order to predict the course of natural aging but in a far shorter period of time.
A test in which voltage, temperature, or other test parameters are increased above normal operating values to obtain observable deterioration in a relatively short time. The plotted results give service life within the context of the test.
Simulated aging tests used to predict the life-cycles of an adhesive undergoing natural aging. Test normally use heat, UV radiation and moisture alone or in combination.
Simulated aging designed to predict the performance of an adhesive after natural aging, typically by using heat, UV radiation and moisture alone or in combination.
A means whereby the deterioration of a tape encountered in natural aging may be accelerated and reproduced in the laboratory.
Artificially accelerating the natural aging process in order to predict product performance of pressure sensitive tapes as well as individual substrates & adhesives.
Subjecting material to far more severe conditions than are likely to be encountered normally, in order to predict behavior during natural long-term aging.
A test methodology that simulates long term environmental effects.
A test in which voltage, temperature, etc., are increased above normal operating values to obtain observable deterioration in a relatively short period of time. the plotted results give expected service life under normal conditions.
Procedures for subjecting pressure- sensitive label stock to special environmental conditions in order to predict the course of natural aging.
A set of laboratory conditions designed to produce in a short time the results of normal aging. Usual factors included are temperature, light, oxygen, and water.
the process of speeding up the deterioration of a material to estimate the rate at which deterioration would take place under normal long-term conditions
A test method to represent extended aging of material in a shorter amount of time. For cellular rubber it is the process of artificially increasing time to measure physical property changes. This usually involves exposure to air at an elevated temperature.
Simulated aging designed to predict the performance of tape after natural, long-term aging. This is done by using heat, UV radiation and moisture alone or in combination.
Accelerated aging is a testing method used to estimate the useful lifespan of a product when actual lifespan data is unavailable. This occurs with products that have not existed long enough to have gone through their useful lifespan: for example, a new type of car engine or a new polymer for replacement joints.
