Product overviewThe UV test cabinet is a laboratory system for accelerated exposure of materials to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and simulated sunlight. It provides controlled, repeatable UV irradiation to evaluate color, gloss, cracking, embrittlement and other surface alterations on paints, coatings, plastics and polymers in a shorter time than outdoor exposure. Suitable for product development, quality control and R&D to assess long-term outdoor behaviour.
Key features- Programmable UV lamps for adjustable spectral output and irradiance
- Timer-controlled test cycles with user-defined durations
- Engineered for uniform light distribution across the chamber
- Precise temperature and humidity control with lockable setpoints
- Accelerated ageing capability to reproduce long-term outdoor exposure
- Safety interlocks and sample holders for repeatable positioning
Typical applications- Evaluation of paints, varnishes and protective coatings
- Weathering tests on plastics, polymers and composites
- Material selection and formulation development
- Quality control, shelf-life testing and failure analysis
Technical specifications- Purpose: Accelerated UV/weathering testing of paints, coatings, plastics and polymers
- UV source: Programmable UV lamps with adjustable irradiance and cycle programming
- Control: Timer-controlled cycles and programmable test sequences
- Light distribution: Chamber design for uniform irradiation of samples
