Understanding, evaluating and preventing the phenomenon of photoaging is essential for companies concerned with the quality and longevity of their products.
Polymers are omnipresent in our daily lives, whether they are plastic materials used in automobiles, aeronautics, buildings or packaging.
Their prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays leads to a degradation phenomenon called photoaging.
This process affects not only the appearance of materials (discoloration, cracking) but also their mechanical properties, thus compromising their durability and safety.
With more than 38 years of experience, CNEP is recognized worldwide for its unique expertise in evaluating the photoaging of polymers. Thanks to a team of experts made up of researchers, engineers and specialized technicians, CNEP offers a complete range of services adapted to the specific needs of each client.
