Accelerated Aging

The effects of environmental conditions on the performance of materials and equipment can be evaluated using Microbac's diverse environmental laboratory. We can control humidity, temperature, pressure, shock, acceleration, radiation, and salinity to simulate any outdoor environment, and determine the environmental effects on materials and equipment.
