Your complete guide to fogging testing at Kiyo R&D Lab
Ever noticed a hazy film on the inside of a car windscreen? That’s fogging โ volatile compounds evaporating from interior materials and condensing on the glass. For automotive and interior components, controlling it is a strict OEM requirement. Searching for dependable fogging testing services in chennai? Kiyo R&D Lab measures the fogging behaviour of your materials so you can meet automotive specifications with confidence.
From plastics, foams, and textiles to leather, adhesives, and trim, our expert team delivers accurate fogging results, supporting data, and clear, audit-ready reports you can rely on.
Fogging is the condensation of volatile substances released from interior materials onto cooler surfaces such as a car’s windscreen. To test it, a sample is heated in a sealed vessel while a cooled glass plate collects the condensate; the fogging level is then measured either by loss of gloss or by the weight of condensate. Reliable fogging testing services in chennai turn that condensate into a clear, comparable value.
For automotive suppliers, it proves interior parts meet OEM fogging limits. For manufacturers, it screens materials before they’re specified. For QC teams, it verifies each batch stays within spec โ all backed by repeatable data.
