Accelerated aging results are not a prediction of service life on site.<\/p>\n<h4>What was evaluated?<\/h4>\n<p>During the assessment, SGS Intron periodically measured and analyzed a range of product characteristics, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fiber Properties<\/li>\n<li>Fiber length<\/li>\n<li>Fiber diameter<\/li>\n<li>Color characteristics<\/li>\n<li>Polymer Properties<\/li>\n<li>Melt Flow Index (MFI)<\/li>\n<li>Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These measurements were performed on both the fibers and backing materials used within the ONE-DNA\u2122 product structure.<\/p>\n<h4>Test results<\/h4>\n<p>According to SGS Intron, the tested samples showed limited changes in the measured properties following the accelerated aging program.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted a change in the Melt Mass-Flow Rate (MFR) of the material after exposure to the simulated aging conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The measured results provide technical information regarding how the material characteristics evolved during the test period and contribute to a broader understanding of long-term product performance.<\/p>\n<h4>Supporting product transparency<\/h4>\n<p>Independent testing forms an important part of our commitment to providing documented product information.<\/p>\n<p>Aging assessments, together with other technical evaluations and product testing programs, help build a clearer understanding of material behavior over time and provide objective data that can support specification and product selection processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-dna.com\/us\/r-and-d\/\">R&amp;D<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/one-dna.com\/us\/technology\/\">Technology<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To better understand how ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass performs over time, we commissioned SGS Intron, an independent testing and certification institute, to conduct accelerated aging tests on selected products.
