Climate chamber at Deon Research Centre: Reliable climate and material simulation
What is a climate chamber?
A climate chamber is a cabinet that allows materials and products to be tested under controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
These tests are crucial for understanding material behavior, stability and aging under various environmental factors.
At Deon Research Centre, we use climate chambers to expose metals, plastics, composites, coatings and resins to simulated climates. This helps with:
- Evaluating material properties under extreme conditions
- Predicting product stability and ageing
- Process optimization and quality assurance
Why choose climate chambers at Deon Research Centre?
Our climate chamber measurements provide reliable, reproducible and controlled conditions for research and production.
- Realistic material tests
Simulate environmental factors that products are exposed to in real life, such as temperature changes and humidity. - Accelerated Aging Tests
Predict the longevity, degradation, and performance of materials under extreme conditions. - Process optimization and quality control
Assess the stability of coatings, resins, plastics, and metals so that products remain consistent and reliable. - Wide range of applications
Suitable for R&D, product development, quality assurance and certification in various industries.
How does a climate chamber work?
A climate chamber creates a precisely controlled environment by using:
- Temperature control: precise heating and cooling to maintain the desired temperature range
- Humidity control: humidification and drying to simulate specific relative humidity (RH)
- Air circulation: uniform distribution of temperature and humidity over the test sample
At Deon Research Centre, we can set climate chambers to programmed cycles or stable conditions, so that we perform both acceleration tests and long-term stability analyses.
Applications of climate chambers in industry
Climate chambers are used for a wide range of applications:
- Coatings and paints: assessment of adhesion, discoloration and craquelure under different climates
- Plastics and resins: analysis of shrinkage, deformation and curing at varying temperatures and humidity
- Metals and composites: tests for corrosion, stress relaxation and material stability
- Product development and quality control: simulation of transport and storage conditions to ensure product performance
At Deon Research Centre, we combine climate chamber tests with other material tests such as viscosity measurements, hardness tests and tensile tests to provide a complete picture of material behavior.
What does this mean for your company?
A climate chamber at Deon Research Centre offers controlled, reproducible and accurate simulations of temperature and humidity. This allows us to evaluate and improve material stability, product quality and process reliability — essential for the R&D, production and quality control of metals, plastics, resins and coatings.
