Micom Laboratories is pleased to announce that it now offers the ASTM C1442 test as part of its UV testing services. This method describes an accelerated weathering test which allows to assess the effects of actinic radiation, heat and humidity on sealants. Filtered Xenon arc lamps, UV fluorescent lamps and open flame carbon arc are all suitable exposure sources for this standard. Those illuminating sources are respectively based on the guidelines of ASTM G155, ASTM G154 and ASTM G152 methods.ASTM C1442 testThe purpose of the ASTM C1442 method is to detail test conditions of an accelerated weathering test that is able to assess the effects of actinic radiation, high temperature and moisture on sealants. Indeed, it is through the adjustment of the apparatus’s parameters that it is possible to create an environment that possesses those attributes.
Moreover, depending on the properties that are being appraised, the sample may be tested as a free film or it may have to be applied to a variety of substrates. One point of concern about this method is that it can be employed with multiples illuminating sources. As a matter of fact, this standard may be used with Xenon arc lamps, UV fluorescent lamps and open flame Carbon arc and this may lead to disparate results. Thus, comparisons between apparatus with different illuminating sources are to be proscribed, because discrepancies that are due to the differences in their spectral power distribution may occur. This conduces to another point of concern which is how well the test conditions will reflect the property changes that are caused by its end-use conditions.
The use of Xenon arc lamps as an illuminating source is a way to address this issue, because it is the best representation of the full solar spectrum among these sources. To learn more about this matter, please consult our latest UV Testing Guide eBook.Micom offers polymer testing services for a wide selection of material and products. For more information about the ASTM C1442, we invite you to contact our material testing laboratory today. It will be our pleasure to answer your questions about either of those tests. Micom Laboratories is a third party industrial material testing laboratory accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, CGSB, ISTA and many other organizations.

ASTM F2825 standard now offered at Micom Laboratories
Micom laboratories is delighted to announce that it now offers the ASTM F2825 standard as part of its environmental testing services. This practice provides the necessary test conditions which replicate the characteristics of the expected conditions of the storage and distribution system of the specimen. More particularly, this simulation assesses the ability of the container to withstand and protect its contents from climatic stress. Lastly, this test protocol may be considered as an accelerated aging test due to the fact that it attempts to portray, after a few hours of exposure, the behavior of a parcel packaging that is used for an overnight or a two-day delivery.

ASTM F2096 standard now offered at Micom Laboratories
Micom Laboratories is proud to announce that it now offers the ASTM F2096 standard as part of its package testing and of its medical package testing services. This method uses a bubble test as a means to detect gross leaks from porous and non-permeable packaging materials. Moreover, this test protocol may be employed to ascertain the integrity of sterile package materials.
ASTM F2096 test
The aim of ASTM F2096 is to utilize internal pressurization as a means to identify gross leaks from permeable and non-porous packaging materials. More specifically, this test consists on pinpointing a steady bubble stream present at an area of failure after the sample had been inflated to a predetermined pressure under water. Moreover, this standard details two methods for the evaluation of this property and their respective uses is restricted to a particular kind of material. Indeed, method A is employed for non-permeable compounds while method B is used for pervious materials and the difference between these two reside in the water saturation time that is present in method B. In other words, this time frame allows sufficient time for water to impregnate the porous side of the material in order to reduce the permeation of air through it. Lastly, this test protocol may be used as a means to evaluate the integrity of packages that are designed to provide an uncontaminated environment and it may also be associated with an accelerated aging test such as ASTM F1980 in order to characterize the evolution of this attribute.

A New BIFMA Test Report Verification Program for the Contract Furniture Industry
Until now there were no reliable certification programs ensuring claims made by the office furniture industry which were properly substantiated with regards to compliance for the nine BIFMA performance and safety standards. This is about to change. Indeed, BIFMA plans on launching its BIFMA Compliant® test report verification program on October first this fall. The program is already in its pilot stage with manufacturers uploading their information and BIFMA will start reviewing files for compliance purposes as early as April.
Many organizations use the BIFMA standards as a qualification requirement in their purchasing process. Most of them rely on the information supplied by vendors including their warranties. In few cases, a letter signed by the vendor certifying conformity to the said standards was required. To my knowledge, only two purchasing groups in North America have a more formal process. However both groups, except for some limited time periods, largely failed at properly monitoring the information that was supplied to them. This was mainly due to the lack of will/budget to properly allocate relevant resources in sufficient quantities and on a continuous basis. Indeed, maintaining that type of program requires dedicated technically competent resources with the funds to support them. Experience indicates this can really only work on a cost-recovery basis. Otherwise, certification costs go through the roof and nobody is willing to absorb them. Personally, I believe BIFMA is uniquely positioned to successfully rise to the challenge.

Cyclic Corrosion Testing is effective for evaluating a variety of corrosion mechanisms, including general, galvanic, and crevice corrosion. Learn more.
The cyclic corrosion testing method is intended to be a more realistic way to perform salt spray tests than traditional steady state exposure tests. Since actual atmospheric exposures usually include both wet and dry conditions, by using cyclic corrosion testing we are able to pattern accelerated laboratory tests after these natural cyclic conditions.
