Ozone aging chamber / Ozone chamber

The Ozone Aging Chamber G280 is designed to evaluate the color fastness and durability of textile fabrics when exposed to ozone-rich environments. It simulates long-term aging effects caused by atmospheric ozone, enabling accurate assessment of fabric resistance to discoloration and degradation. The chamber features high-efficiency ozone generation, precise control of ozone concentration, adjustable sample rotation, and safety interlocks for reliable testing.

Application

(1) Knitted Fabrics: Testing ozone resistance and color fastness of cotton, wool, and synthetic knits.

(2) Woven Fabrics: Evaluating color stability and degradation for polyester, nylon, and blended woven materials.

(3) Synthetic Fiber Fabrics: Assessing ozone-induced color fading on fabrics like polyester, polypropylene, and acrylics.

(4) Natural Fiber Fabrics: Testing cotton, silk, wool, and linen for ozone color fastness.

(5) Carpets & Rugs: Conducting ozone exposure tests on nylon carpets and floor coverings.

(6) Protective & Functional Textiles: Evaluating ozone resistance of outdoor fabrics, sportswear, and technical textiles.

(7) Textile R&D and Quality Control: Optimizing dye formulations, surface treatments, and coatings against ozone degradation.

(8) Education and Material Research: Studying environmental aging effects in laboratories and universities.
