Is your product surviving in the environment?
- Thursday, 26 February 2015
What is accelerated weathering? UV radiation, temperature, humidity and corrosive environments can damage your product over time. Accelerated weathering simulates this process, making use of technology to rapidly challenge product against the elements.
Who needs it? Product developers, manufacturers and service providers of valuable product that may spend its life in harsh and diverse climate conditions.
Industrial applications:
• Automotive, transport, marine and aeronautical
• Product development
• Building and construction components
• Plastics and textile manufacturing
• Metal components
Core Testing areas cover:
ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMBER: Environmental chambers can cycle products through extremes of temperature and humidity, simulating the effects of harsh and changing weather.
SALT FOG & CYCLIC CORROSION: This chamber allows the evaluation of the performance of paints, coatings and products in a harsh and humid, highly corrosive saline atmosphere. Temperature is typically 35˚C, which can be varied if required. Products are exposed for specified periods to determine resistance to corrosion.
UV & SOLAR RADIATION: UV light and solar radiation cause appearance damage, decomposition or photo degradation of materials.
