ISO 188
Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic -- Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests


ISO 188 establishes accelerated aging conditions for elastomeric materials by exposing them to controlled heat and oxidative environments for predetermined periods. This test method evaluates material resistance to thermal and chemical degradation by measuring changes in key mechanical properties including hardness, tensile strength, and elasticity. The standard applies to vulcanized rubbers, thermoplastic elastomers, and rubber articles used in demanding applications requiring long-term durability. It provides critical performance data for predicting the service life and reliability of elastomeric components in industrial environments.
