Ensure Better Performance of Rubber Products with Ozone Testing

Ensure Better Performance of Rubber Products with Ozone Testing

Ozone can be a great factor that causes the rubber and rubber products deteriorate in quality with premature failure. The ozone is a greenhouse gas that naturally found in the atmosphere and is responsible for retaining the earth’s ambient temperature. When a rubber material or products comes in contact with ozone gas for a prolonged time, it can cause the structural changes in the rubbed at molecular level and hence can cause the products to deteriorate easily.

Rubber products are used in a variety of applications from oil seals to automobile parts and many other crucial applications where if the components are subject to very high impacts and stresses. If the rubber products are not of best quality, they cannot survive such high levels of stress. In addition to that, if the rubber is exposed to ozone for a very long time, it can further ruin the strength and performance of rubber to a deep extent.

This is why, the manufacturers of rubber materials and products are supposed to test the quality and performance of the products they are manufacturing for impact of various factor such as Ozone, UV rays and so forth. To test the behaviour of rubber when exposed to Ozone, a testing instrument called ozone test chamber is used. It is a closed chamber that is used for exposing rubber to extreme concentration of ozone and helps in accelerating the weathering process of rubber under the impact of ozone gas. This way, the manufacturers can easily test the impact of ozone on the components they manufacture. The instrument is designed to be used in harsh industrial environments and hence can be used in various industries without compromising its performance.

Rubber products such as vulcanized rubber, thermoplastic rubber, rubber bush, cable insulators and so forth have static tensile deformation in them and ozone chamber is an ideal testing instrument to test them with natural atmospheric conditions. This helps the manufacturers in studying the impact of ozone on their products and then takes proper measures such as anti-aging techniques using anti-ozone agents to enhance the service life as well as the performance of the products without any premature failure. The instrument is  widely used as a method of quality control in various industries such as rubber industries, cable industries, automobile industries and many others and helps the manufacturers in ensuring the best quality of products delivered to the clients.
