Xenon - Xenon Arc and Aging Tests

Xenon - Xenon

Micom offers Xenon arc testing to simulate outdoor and indoor sun exposure on surface coatings, coatings and polymers. The equipment used to perform such a test is called weatherometers. ASTM G155 is an application for xenon arc testing. There are many test methods that require xenon arc testing.

Accelerated Decomposition Testing for Plastics and Polymers is required to ensure that materials and products meet the expected functionality and lifespan.

There are a number of variables available to ensure that the effects of aging and weathering are difficult to predict and therefore may cause problems that may adversely affect your product and business in the future.

EUROLAB provides accelerated air-conditioning testing of polymer and plastic materials and products through different tests. Our experts test the resistance of polymeric products to the environment, weather, temperature, humidity, repeated sterilization or UV / Xenon exposure. Polymer materials or products will be exposed to heat, UV and other stress under certain conditions to determine their critical properties before and after exposure.

Typically, the materials tested include inks and dyes (for example fascia boards), pipelines allocated for hot environments; Medical devices such as blood bags. We also have the ability to offer Automotive Materials Weatherproof Test.
