The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers ASTM D4329-compliant services determining a plastic’s ability to withstand exposure to natural elements. Plastics are a popular choice for manufacturers because they’re very versatile and relatively affordable for the benefits they provide. When selecting plastic materials for a specific condition, manufacturers must consider the material’s strengths and weaknesses to ensure that it can perform adequately in its intended application. Our environmental testing labs offer important insight into materials and products so that manufacturers can ensure their material selection and quality control strategies are effective.
What is ASTM D4329?
The American Society for Testing for Materials (ASTM) established ASTM D4329 as the standardized method for evaluating how plastics resist deterioration caused by sunlight, water, and heat. The standard allows manufacturers to assess a material’s potential to function properly in its end-use conditions and provides important information about how exposure to different elements can change a material’s properties and functionality.
Why are ASTM Standards Important?
ASTM publishes internationally adopted standards that establish consistency across different facilities and labs. The common framework provided by the standards is important because it helps ensure that testing results are reliable and that products are of acceptable quality. ASTM standards benefit manufacturers because they help them achieve regulatory compliance which is essential to maintaining access to markets both nationally and internationally.
