You are...
Are you a designer, manufacturer, asset manager or user of plastics and rubber materials and products? And would you like to know the expected service life of the specific polymer product beforehand? Then we can help you with an independent service life investigation of plastic and rubber products. The service life of rubber and plastic products is often an important parameter.
The residual service life of existing installations, to function for many years, is also an important issue for the asset and maintance departments of companies. Kiwa is often requested to investigate and evaluate if polymer parts or products can function during a longer period. In many cases the exchange of the polymer product was not neccessary, even beyond the initial design life or guarantee period. A clear advantage for our clients!
Tests related to service life investigations:
- Rubber, investigation and prediction of service life
- Plastics, thermal stability
- Oxidation induction time (OIT) and other DSC based tests
- Resistance to internal hydrostatic pressure
- Resistance to slow crack growth (SCG)
- Resistance to rapid crack propagation (RCP)
- Oxygen permeability
- Effects of heating.
But also for designers, manufacturers, asset managers and users of plastics and rubber materials and products like:
- plastic piping systems
- rubber sealing products
- rubber engineering products
- geosynthetics

Polymer resins and raw materials - testing and analysis
Polymer resins and raw materials are often used for the extrusion of pipes or for the moulding of fittings and valves. Resins can be either for the strength bearing properties or for a specific functional purpose like barrier properties, adhesive tie layers or filling materials for stiffness of the product.
