The Xenon Lamp Aging Test Simulates the Wet Aging Factors of Sunlight
The Xenon Lamp Aging Test Simulates the Wet Aging Factors of Sunlight
The main factors that form the aging of materials are sunlight and moisture, and sunlight is a major factor in the degradation of many materials.
The type of degradation, such as degradation of physical properties, chalking, cracking, peeling, fading, and color change, is related to the sensitivity and spectrum of the material, and each material responds differently to the spectrum.
When it comes to durable materials, such as most coatings and plastics, UVA rays are the main cause of polymer aging.However, with regard to materials that are not particularly durable, long-wave ultraviolet light or even short-wave visible light is a major factor in the formation of its damage.
Xenon weathering tests are able to mimic damage caused by sunlight, rain, and dew
Xenon lamp aging tests can mimic the damage caused by sunlight, rain and dew, using xenon lamp to mimic the effect of sunlight, using condensation moisture to mimic rain and dew, the test material is placed at a certain temperature in a cycle of light and moisture replacement procedures, in a few days or weeks can reproduce the damage of months or even years outdoors. Artificial accelerated aging test data can assist in the selection of new materials, modification of existing materials, and evaluation of how changes in formulation affect the durability of products.
Application Area
Applicable scale of xenon lamp aging test: automotive exterior and interior decoration materials, electronic product shell materials, plastics, textiles, coatings and other materials, electronic product shell materials, etc.;
