Rubber footwear may be an ancient type of footwear fashion but still is available and is most preferable. In addition to that, the footwear made of rubber is comfortable and user-friendly, they also have more resistance to extreme conditions like water retention, heat exposure, and sunlight exposure compared to other materials used in the footwear industry. However, with the rising ozone composition in our atmosphere, the rubber footwear is getting exposed to more and more ozone which is making them develop cracks early. Testing these kinds of footwear nowadays is becoming vital by using an efficient ozone chamber that can tell us how footwear will behave in extreme exposure to ozone for a long time.

Ozone exposure and its effect on rubber footwear

Ozone is a gas that is available in our atmosphere layer but very far and above. it is usually not a part of the atmosphere we live in and is not supposed to be there but due to rising global warming, the atmosphere’s shield is developing holes due to which ozone gas is entering the atmosphere where we exist. Thus leading to high exposure to rubber footwear and damaging its quality. Footwear made of rubber material is usually composed of a maximum percentage of rubber and this rubber material have strong bonds or we can say chemical bonds inside them which can easily break down leading to crack development in the material surface due to extreme exposure of that material to ozone gas. In such a scenario, a manufacturer must know before making thousands of rubber slippers or shoes how that raw material used to make the entire production line will behave on the exposure to ozone.

Ozone chamber, an efficient solution for testing the effect of ozone in rubber footwear

Due to the maximum effect of ozone on rubber footwear, it may lead to cracked and poor quality material that can fail to deliver the services they are made for in 100 years or maybe 200 years. This number of years in which the product will fail to perform can only be decided when they are inspected in the same environment but artificially generated and accelerated form. This can be possible by using an efficient quality testing solution which can help in creating such an environment that can artificially make the same ozone composition which is available in our atmosphere and can develop the same in an accelerated form that is these kinds of tests can deliver the result of thousand years of exposure in few hours of testing.

The ozone test chamber is an efficient rubber testing instrument that can help in the development of ozone and temperature inside a chamber where a sample can be tested for its behaviour against exposure to ozone gas. It is equipped with a microprocessor-based monitor that is highly sensitive to temperature changes and gas composition levels so that the user can precisely know how much ozone gas and temperature is given to the sample while we are testing them. Can also deliver a humidity composition so that one can test the sample under a mixed environment which includes ozone, humidity and temperature ranges. It brings an ozone diffuser that ensures a proper mixture of ozone gas in the environment so that the sample can be precisely tested on every stage of a surface. Allow testing of 125-litre capacity that enables a wide range of sample testing in the chamber. It has an advanced level of insulation technology that ensures that no environmental parameter can go out or can enter inside the chamber. By testing rubber footwear using this environmental chamber, the manufacturer can ensure at what time of year their product will fail to perform.
