ASTM E1952

ASTM E1952 is a standard test method used to evaluate how a material or product responds to thermal aging—that is, how it changes when exposed to high temperatures over time. It helps determine the stability, durability, and lifespan of materials like plastics, rubber, or coatings when they are used in environments with elevated temperatures. This testing ensures that products will perform safely and reliably under thermal stress, guiding manufacturers in material selection and quality assurance for long-term applications.
