Environmental test chambers, including weathering, accelerated ageing testing for plastics, polymers and composites.
Accelerated Weathering Testing for Plastics and Polymers is required to ensure that materials and products perform as intended and last as long as they should.
Accelerated weathering test methods simulate extreme weather conditions using special environmental chambers and instruments that speed up the weathering process. The outside and interior of a product might deteriorate due to environmental factors such as color change, cracking, corrosion, and deterioration. Investigating your product’s weathering process is crucial to determining its ability to endure the natural pressures that will occur during its lifetime.
Test standards for plastic and polymer ageing testing:
- Accelerated weathering by UV – ASTM D4329, ASTM D 4587, ISO 4892
- Materials weathering tests by Xenon Arc – ASTM G155, ISO 4892, ASTM D2565, ASTM D4459
TESTRON provides best environmental chambers, all our chambers have 3 years free warranty and lifetime technical support.
Xenon Arc Accelerated Weathering Test Chamber
Xenon Arc weatherometers simulate the weathering process of indoor and outdoor sun exposure on materials. To perform weathering test, colorfastness tests, aging test, hardening test, softening test, and crack
Furthermore, xenon weathering chambers can place 42 pieces of specimens, are an upgrade to a programmable controller and Ethernet access.
UV Weathering Test Chamber
UV Weathering Test Chamber creates artificial weathering condition with combination of UV light, temperature, condensing humidity, water sprays, and irradiance control in order to test damaging results of material by long term outdoor exposure.
Accelerated weathering tests included color change, gloss loss, chalking, cracking, crazing, hazing, blistering, strength loss and oxidation, and many others.
