Accelerated and Real-time Aging
What is the goal of accelerated and real-time aging storage?
Both methods aim to ensure that your product and its packaging meet requirements and quality standards.
The test simulates the natural aging process and verifies specific parameters or properties of your product. This enables a faster assessment of the product's shelf life and quality, allowing you to identify and correct potential problems or weaknesses early on, or to obtain early market approval for your products.
What happens during storage for accelerated and real-time aging?
In accelerated aging, your products are stored under elevated temperature conditions with controlled humidity to accelerate the chemical reaction rate and thus the aging process.
The Arrhenius equation is used to calculate an accelerated aging time by storing at elevated temperatures. We conduct this at 55°C in our qualified temperature chambers according to the standard; other temperatures according to your specifications are also possible.
Accelerated aging data must be verified by real-time aging, in which your products are stored under realistic conditions, e.g., 25°C/60% RH, to simulate the actual aging process.
In which areas is this test used?
Die Einlagerung zur beschleunigten und Echtzeit-Alterung wird durchgeführt,
um Alterungseffekte zu überprüfen und die Haltbarkeit nachzuweisen.
It is used where materials are exposed to certain external influences.
