CO2 Corrosion testing

[davidmoul]

Hi guys,

does anyone know a normative test (like salt brine) which could be used to evaluate the resistance of some polymers to CO2 corrosive (=humid) environnement?

I'd like to qualify some electrical insulation in such environment, but I don't find any standard test procedure. Does someone know if it exists (it should) and where to find some information...

many thanks!

Contact the insulation material suppliers like Du Pont, Schenectady, P. Leo or Ripley Resin who have already done the testing.
Cheers

ISO 23936-1 may be of some assistance although it will not deal with effects on electrical properties.
