WBE-UV-3 /UV Accelerated Aging Test Chambers

WBE-UV-3 /UV Accelerated Aging Test Chambers

UV Accelerated Aging Test Chambers simulates the damage caused by sunlight, rain, and dew. UV lamps simulate the effects of sunlight, while condensation simulates rain and dew. The test material is placed in a cycle of alternating light and moisture at a specific temperature for testing. UV test data can help you select new materials and assess how changes in formulation affect the durability of new products.

Description

WBE UV Accelerated Aging Test Chambers:

UV testing can reproduce damage that would occur outdoors over months or years in just a few days or weeks. Types of damage include: fading, discoloration, loss of gloss, chalking, cracking, clouding, bubbling, embrittlement, strength degradation, and oxidation. UV test data can help you select new materials and assess how changes in formulation affect the durability of new products. It is widely used in coatings, inks, paints, resins, plastics, rubber, printing and packaging, aluminum profiles, adhesives, automotive, motorcycle industries, cosmetics, metals, electronics, electroplating, and pharmaceuticals.
