Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a leader in adaptive corrosion testing solutions, is thrilled to launch the ClimaCorr Duo Salt Spray System—a revolutionary dual-mode platform that combines accelerated corrosion testing with real-time environmental simulation. Designed for industries like automotive, outdoor equipment, and consumer electronics, this system lets manufacturers balance speed (for rapid product development) and realism (for accurate real-world performance forecasting) in a single unit.
The ClimaCorr Duo’s standout feature is its switchable dual-mode design. The Accelerated Mode amplifies corrosive conditions—using 10% salt concentration (double the standard) and temperature cycling up to 70°C—to replicate 5 years of real-world exposure in just 100 hours. This mode is ideal for early-stage R&D, where teams need fast feedback on coating prototypes. An automotive manufacturer used Accelerated Mode to test 12 different paint formulations for a new SUV model, narrowing down the top 3 options in 2 weeks (vs. 3 months with standard testing). The Real-Time Mode, by contrast, mimics natural environments with precise control: 3-5% salt concentration, temperature matching regional averages (e.g., 25°C for temperate zones, 32°C for coastal areas), and even diurnal humidity fluctuations (60-90% RH). For outdoor gear brands testing camping equipment, this mode ensures results reflect how products will perform in actual use—like a tent pole enduring coastal fog in Oregon or desert salt dust in Arizona.
Precision is guaranteed across both modes via the system’s adaptive sensor network, which includes 12 distributed probes that monitor salt concentration, temperature, and humidity in real time. The network auto-adjusts parameters to maintain accuracy: if salt levels drop in Real-Time Mode, the system refuels the fogger; if temperature spikes in Accelerated Mode, it activates auxiliary cooling. This stability meets global standards such as ASTM B117 (accelerated), ISO 9227 (standard), and SAE J2334 (automotive-specific real-time). A consumer electronics brand testing smartphone casings noted that the ClimaCorr Duo’s precision ensured consistent results across 50+ test runs, critical for validating IP68 water/salt resistance ratings.
Efficiency is boosted by the system’s shared specimen chamber (1.2 cubic meters), which eliminates the need to transfer samples between separate units when switching modes. The chamber includes adjustable racks that hold up to 40 specimens—from small smartphone parts to large automotive trim pieces—and a quick-release door that cuts mode-switching time to under 15 minutes. An outdoor equipment manufacturer reported that this design reduced their testing workflow by 35%, as they could test the same batch of hiking boot buckles first in Accelerated Mode (to screen for flaws) then in Real-Time Mode (to confirm long-term durability).
Real-world applications highlight the system’s versatility. A luxury automotive brand used the ClimaCorr Duo to validate a new aluminum alloy for convertible tops: Accelerated Mode identified a coating weakness in 80 hours, prompting a formulation tweak; Real-Time Mode then confirmed the revised coating would withstand 10 years of coastal driving. For a camping gear company, the system tested tent zippers—Accelerated Mode fast-tracked the selection of a corrosion-resistant metal, while Real-Time Mode simulated 3 years of summer camping trips (including morning dew and salt air) to ensure zipper smoothness over time.
“The ClimaCorr Duo solves a classic trade-off in corrosion testing: speed vs. realism,” TOBO GROUP’s Product Innovation Lead. “Manufacturers no longer have to choose between fast R&D feedback and accurate real-world data—this system delivers both, helping them launch more durable products faster.”
