Weather testing is a critical component in formulating thermoplastic colors by providing insight into long-term light exposure and other environmental factors.
We perform in-house QUV and Xenon accelerated tests following ASTM standards, and our third-party alliances supply real world outdoor weathering data.
- Xenon test chamber reproduces entire spectrum of sunlight (ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared)
- QUV test chamber replicates damaging effects of sunlight that occur from exposure to short-wave UV
The Primary Causes of Weathering Damage
Superior performance and long-term durability are very important aspects to consider in product marketability. Weathering damage to thermoplastic products is primarily caused by:
- High temperature
- UV Exposure
- Moisture/humidity
Deterioration can occur from any one of these factors, which work together to cause further harm to outdoor durable products. We combine high-grade raw materials with proven data and expertise to produce color retention concentrates that will stand the test of time.
