Details

The xenon test chamber is a laboratory testing facility to evaluate the product durability for indoor as well as outdoor conditions by exposing the product to simulated weather conditions. This accelerated testing facility has mostly been used in development and durability evaluation of paints/coatings for corrosion protection, anti-reflective, anti-tarnishing application as well as in the evaluation of the UV/weather resistance of polymer products/coatings.. The Q-SUN tester's user inter­face is designed to be functional, highly reliable and easy to use. Xenon arc lamps produce the most realistic reproduction of the full spec­trum of solar radiation. The humidity and temperature corresponding to varying weather conditions can also be simulated accurately.
