Summary:
The destruction of materials by sunlight and moisture in nature causes incalculable economic losses every year. The damage caused mainly includes fading, yellowing, discoloration, strength reduction, embrittlement, oxidation, brightness reduction, cracking, blurring and chalking. Products and materials that are exposed to direct or behind-the-glass sunlight are at greatest risk of photodamage. Materials exposed to fluorescent, halogen, or other light-emitting lamps for extended periods of time are also affected by photodegradation.
The Xenon Lamp Weather Resistance Test Chamber uses a xenon arc lamp that can simulate the full sunlight spectrum to reproduce the destructive light waves that exist in different environments. This equipment can provide corresponding environmental simulation and accelerated tests for scientific research, product development and quality control.
The YY646 xenon lamp weather resistance test chamber can be used for tests such as selection of new materials, improvement of existing materials or evaluation of changes in durability after changes in material composition. The device can well simulate the changes in materials exposed to sunlight under different environmental conditions.
Simulates the full sunlight spectrum:
The Xenon Lamp Weathering Chamber measures the light resistance of materials by exposing them to ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared light. It uses a filtered xenon arc lamp to produce the full sunlight spectrum with maximum matching to sunlight. A properly filtered xenon arc lamp is the best way to test a product’s sensitivity to longer wavelength UV and visible light in direct sunlight or sunlight through glass.
Lightfastness testing of interior materials:
Products placed in retail locations, warehouses, or other environments can also experience significant photodegradation due to prolonged exposure to fluorescent, halogen, or other light-emitting lamps. The xenon arc weather test chamber can simulate and reproduce the destructive light produced in such commercial lighting environments, and can accelerate the test process at higher intensity.
simulated climate environment:
In addition to the photodegradation test, the xenon lamp weather test chamber can also become a weathering test chamber by adding a water spray option to simulate the damage effect of outdoor moisture on materials. Using the water spray function greatly expands the climatic environmental conditions that the device can simulate.
