Light Aging Testing

Light aging test refers to the aging caused by various factors when materials are exposed to sunlight during use. Light aging tests can simulate the effects of outdoor ageing for months or even years in a few days or weeks. The laboratory can evaluate the aging resistance of materials by evaluating the color, gloss, chalking, blistering, peeling and other appearance changes or mechanical properties of samples.

Light Aging Testing

◉    Business Challenges

1.  How do you know whether the material you produce will achieve the desired performance after a certain period of time when it needs to be used in outdoor conditions?

2.  Which test conditions for light aging can best simulate the actual use environment of the product?

3. Which kind of UV-absorbent can be used to improve the weathering resistance of the product? What is the relationship between the formulation, dosage and the final product performance?
