Ozone testing in India is becoming increasingly essential for manufacturers and suppliers who rely on rubber, elastomers, and polymer-based products. From the automotive and aerospace sectors to medical, defense, and consumer goods industries, understanding how ozone affects materials is critical for ensuring long-term product performance.
At Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories, we operate one of India’s most advanced ozone testing labs, delivering accurate, simulation-based testing to evaluate how materials behave under ozone exposure. With a state-of-the-art ozone chamber from Toyoseiki, Japan, and a commitment to ISO and ASTM standards, KML offers high-precision testing services tailored to industrial and R&D requirements.
What is Ozone and Why is Ozone Testing Crucial?
Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. While it shields the planet from harmful UV rays in the upper atmosphere, ozone at ground level is a powerful oxidizer that can degrade various materials—especially rubber, elastomers, and polymers.
When exposed to even low levels of ozone, materials often undergo:
- Surface cracking
- Loss of elasticity
- Structural weakening
- Reduction in tensile strength
These changes drastically reduce product lifespan and compromise safety and performance. For industries producing or using seals, hoses, gaskets, insulators, and medical components, these risks are not acceptable.
That’s where ozone resistance testing becomes a must-have in any comprehensive material testing or quality assurance process.
Our Ozone Testing Capabilities
At Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories, we offer ozone aging and ozone stimulation testing using the Toyoseiki ozone chamber — one of the finest in the industry. Our lab is located in Gurgaon and operates within an NABL-accredited quality system, ensuring every test follows globally accepted protocols.
1. Dynamic Ozone Testing
This simulates real-world conditions by testing rubber and elastomers under motion, tension, and cyclical stress. It’s ideal for evaluating components used in automobiles, aircraft, and heavy machinery, where moving parts are frequently exposed to air pollutants and ozone.
2. Static Ozone Testing
In contrast, static testing exposes samples to constant ozone concentration over time. This is perfect for long-term durability studies, where manufacturers need to know how materials hold up under constant environmental stress.
Whether your goal is life cycle validation, failure analysis, or new product development, our ozone testing lab delivers the precise data you need to make informed engineering and production decisions.
Industries That Require Ozone Testing
Ozone exposure testing is especially critical for industries that cannot compromise on performance and longevity. We serve:
- Automotive – hoses, gaskets, O-rings, wiper blades
- Aerospace & Defense – vibration isolators, seals
- Construction & Infrastructure – roofing membranes, insulation
- Medical Devices – tubes, stoppers, and seals in oxygen-rich environments
- Consumer Goods – footwear, appliances, outdoor rubber components
