Will your material still perform after months of heat, or will it harden, discolour, and crack? Heat aging reveals how a product holds up over its service life — before your customers find out the hard way. A dedicated heat aging testing lab in chennai exposes your samples to elevated temperature over time and measures exactly how their properties change. Kiyo R&D Lab tests the long-term thermal durability of your plastics, rubber, and components with confidence.
From polymers and elastomers to coatings, adhesives, and finished parts, our expert team delivers accurate aging data, supporting analysis, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Heat aging is the controlled exposure of a material to elevated temperature over a set period, to simulate years of real-world service in a matter of days or weeks. By holding samples in a hot-air oven and then re-testing them, a heat aging testing lab in chennai reveals how properties like strength, elongation, hardness, and colour drift as the material ages.
The principle is simple: heat accelerates the chemical changes — oxidation, embrittlement, plasticiser loss — that would otherwise take years. Measuring the before-and-after tells you whether a material will survive its intended lifetime, or fail early in the field.
As a dedicated heat aging testing lab in chennai, we age your samples under controlled conditions and measure the properties that matter to your application.
Strength before vs after.
Loss of flexibility.
Hardening with age.
Weight loss, discolouration.
Surface degradation.
Your temperature & time.
| Material | Typical Temp | Assessed After |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber / elastomer | 70–100 °C | Tensile, elongation, hardness |
| Thermoplastics | 80–120 °C | Strength, impact, colour |
| Wire & cable | 100–150 °C | Insulation flexibility |
| Coatings | Per spec | Adhesion, colour, gloss |
| Custom | Your profile | Any measurable property |
Conditions shown are indicative; exact temperature and duration follow your specification or the relevant standard.
Our heat aging testing lab in chennai follows globally recognised methods, so your aging results are accepted by auditors, buyers, and regulators alike.
