Damage of rubber water bag

By customer demand, we went to investigate the causes of the rupture and degradation of the water rubber bag.

The bag was subjected to comments and inquiries focused on the areas of explosive loss of liquid . These analyzes were performed using microscopes and SEM and directed the subsequent physical and chemical analysis along a defined path of investigation. The constituent material is subjected to an in-depth characterization, centered on analysis by spectrophotometry (FT-IR) and thermal analysis (DSC).

By these investigation on this water bag, clear evidence emerged that indicated that damage's phenomenon is attributable to a deterioration of the rubber due to the way in which water is heated. This mechanism resulted in fact the transfer to the bath and then to the rubber, of metal particles incompatible with the material of the bag
