Automatic Ozone Test Chambers for Rubber Aging | Modular Series

Automatic Ozone Test Chamber for Rubber & Polymers

The Science of Rubber Cracking Resistance

Ozone (O3) is one of the most aggressive catalysts for polymer degradation. EKTRON TEK's Automatic Ozone Test Chambers are engineered to provide highly precise, accelerated weathering environments. They are the critical foundation for quality assurance, longevity research, and anti-cracking formula development in the global rubber industry.

Global Compliance: Testing methodologies strictly conform to ASTM D1149, ISO 1431, and JIS K6259 standards.
Testing Modalities: Supports both static and dynamic strain evaluations to simulate real-world mechanical fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ozone Aging Technology

Why is Ultraviolet (UV) ozone generation superior to chemical methods? ▼

Generating ozone via Ultraviolet (UV) rays is a pure, physical process. It eliminates the need for chemical additives, prevents the creation of harmful byproducts (like nitrogen oxides), and ensures a highly stable, controllable concentration environment for precise R&D experiments.

What is the purpose of Dynamic Strain testing? ▼

While static testing stretches a sample and holds it, Dynamic Strain testing repeatedly stretches and relaxes the rubber during ozone exposure. This is crucial for evaluating products that undergo constant movement—such as automotive tires and drive belts—as the flexing motion exposes fresh polymer chains to ozone attack.
