Accelerated aging

Accelerated aging is a testing process used to simulate and speed up the effects of aging on a product or material. By exposing it to higher temperatures, humidity, or other stressors, scientists can observe how it might degrade or fail over time within a shorter period. This helps predict its long-term durability and performance, ensuring safety and quality without waiting for real-time aging. It’s a valuable tool in fields like pharmaceuticals, packaging, and materials science to estimate lifespan and identify potential issues early.
