Material Property test

One of the test condom manufacturer do is to test for water leakage and also tensile strength by putting water in the condom and check if there are any water leakage or bursting. I have left the water in the jar for two days (48 hours). The material is still holding up with no bursting or leaking or degrading (because the material is biodegradable and can dissolve in hot water).

To test the biodegradability, I put a piece of material in tap water and observed the process of degradation.

I also soaked my material in white vinegar to see if it can hold up in an acidic environment because vaginal environment is acidic with PH value about 3.8 to 4.5. Where distilled white vinegar usually measures around PH 2.4.
