ASTM G22: Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Plastics to Bacteria

What is ASTM G22?

ASTM G22 is a standard practice developed by ASTM International for determining the resistance of plastics to bacteria. This method evaluates the susceptibility of polymeric materials to microbial-induced degradation, an essential consideration for plastics used in food, and industrial applications.

Why is ASTM G22 Testing Important?

Plastics used in environments prone to bacterial exposure must maintain their integrity and functionality. Bacterial degradation can compromise material properties, leading to product failure, contamination risks, and safety concerns. ASTM G22 testing helps manufacturers assess product durability and longevity.
