Fluorescent UV & condensation
Fluorescent lamps produce UV spectrum light; humidity is instilled via forced condensation; temperature is regulated through automated sensors.
Overview
Laboratory simulation of light, heat, and humidity
We assess the negative impact of incident radiation in the form of light—anything between ultraviolet and infrared— which can damage coating components under long exposure. Our tests simulate a controlled environment to understand each coated component’s structural and compositional change over time.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited practices and reporting.
Methods
Test methods
Broad-spectrum light exposure
Exposure to incident light from UV through IR to study weathering effects on coating components under controlled conditions.
Environmental ageing
Simulated atmospheres reveal how coatings change structurally and compositionally over time.
Evaluation
Evaluation & applicability
Head-to-head coat comparison
Permits individual comparison between different coats when exposed to similar conditions.
All coating types
Applicable to all types of coatings used across industries.
