PYT-150 Condom Accelerated Aging Tester

The Condom Accelerated Aging Tester is a specialized thermal conditioning apparatus engineered and manufactured by Peyotal to assess the hot air aging performance and shelf-life stability of condoms. Designed specifically for natural latex rubber barrier contraceptives, the system simulates long-term storage conditions to determine material degradation, structural integrity changes, and post-aging burst resistance.

Standards: Strictly complies with the requirements of GB7544 (Appendix H for the determination of aging properties of condoms), ISO23409, and ASTM D6324.

Q1: What is the exact quality control workflow for using the Peyotal aging tester to audit condom stability?

A: The validation methodology is built around standardized thermal pre-conditioning and secondary physical evaluation. First, the operator seals the packaged condoms in the chamber and adjusts the system to a pre-set shelf-life simulation period at an adjustable 30 degrees Celsius. After the hot air aging cycle finishes, samples are taken out. To observe the exact degradation signs and quality changes, technicians must measure the sample’s blasting volume and burst pressure within a strict time frame: not less than 12 hours but within 96 hours after extraction, using a companion condom blasting tester.

Q2: Why does the Peyotal factory recommend processing 200 samples per testing batch?

A: For medical device factories, educational institutes, and national science ministries, small sample numbers lack the mathematical authority required to pass strict regulatory audits. While our internal chamber structurally accommodates a baseline minimum of 32 samples, processing 200 samples per batch provides high-statistical confidence. This allows your laboratory team to run flawless group analysis and obtain audit-ready quality performance metrics.

Q3: Can this hot air environmental tester be extended to non-condom material testing?

A: Yes, absolutely. While configured to satisfy the technical requirements of natural latex rubber condoms (GB7544-2009), the system features highly stable, uniform hot air convection and an adjustable temperature core. This makes it perfectly suitable for testing the thermal aging, accelerated drying, and heat degradation profiles of various medical devices, pharmaceutical plastic pouches, rubber gloves, and delicate barrier foils according to regional health ministry guidelines.

Q4: What are the facility and utility requirements for installing this benchtop unit?

A: Peyotal designs this instrument line with maximum utility simplicity to accommodate remote or developing laboratory infrastructures across Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The unit operates 100% on a standard AC 220V 50HZ electrical grid and requires no professional pneumatic lines or external fluid hooks. Weighing just 10 kg with a compact 500mm * 500mm * 450mm body, it sits easily on any lab bench, ensuring a completely clean, low-maintenance installation.
