Environmental & Materials Testing Solutions
Explore solution paths for accelerated weathering, xenon and UV exposure, material durability, and test-method selection based on the material, exposure mechanism, and evaluation objective.
Choose the Requirement That Best Matches Your Project
Start with the degradation mechanism or environment you need to reproduce. The goal is to select the test method before selecting an individual chamber or instrument.
Accelerated Weathering & Durability
Evaluate material degradation under accelerated light and weathering conditions for development, comparison, and durability work.
Light Exposure & Method Selection
Choose among xenon, high-intensity UV, solar-simulation, and standards-oriented approaches based on the exposure mechanism.
Accelerate Material Exposure & Evaluate Durability
Use the existing weathering solution when the project centers on accelerated light exposure, material durability, coatings, plastics, automotive materials, or standards-based weathering workflows.
Choose the Exposure Method Before the Equipment
The appropriate weathering method depends on the material, target degradation mechanism, desired acceleration, and applicable internal or external test method. The existing weathering hub already contains the main selection routes.
Xenon Weathering
Use the xenon-weathering route when broad-spectrum light exposure and weathering simulation match the material or standard requirement.
High-Intensity UV Weathering
Use the high-intensity UV route when accelerated UV exposure is central to the durability or comparison objective.
Method & Standards Selection
Use the method-selection route when the first question is which exposure approach best matches the material, standard, or test objective.
What Should You Define First?
Weathering and material-durability testing becomes clearer when the material, light exposure, degradation mechanism, acceleration target, and applicable standard or internal method are defined first.
Define the material or component
Coating, polymer, automotive material, electronic assembly, finished product, or another test specimen.
Define the real-world exposure
Sunlight, UV, moisture, heat, or another weathering-related exposure relevant to the current solution set.
Define the failure or degradation mechanism
Color change, cracking, fading, surface degradation, mechanical change, or another durability criterion.
Define the required method or standard
Determine whether a specific standard, customer method, internal comparison, or accelerated screening approach must be followed.
Define test duration and throughput
Sample count, chamber capacity, acceleration expectations, and laboratory workflow affect equipment and configuration selection.
