Deterioration by Heat & Air Pressure

Oxidative and thermal aging can cause deterioration of the physical properties of materials and ARDL provides testing to measure this change over time. Our accelerated aging capabilities allow us to accelerate the conditions that cause property changes through use of high air pressure and elevated temperature per ASTM specifications.
