Our Accelerated Weathering & Light Fastness Services
Accelerated weathering and light fastness testing are designed to assess the durability of your product under various sunlight conditions. Products exposed to direct sunlight are susceptible to the damaging effects of UV radiation and weather, necessitating testing to evaluate material performance and lightfastness over time.
Using a weathering chamber unit, we can accelerate the process by approximately eight times, simulating conditions from anywhere globally. This allows for evaluating the degradability of samples, including a reduction in mechanical properties, color change, and fading due to exposure to natural, and artificial sunlight under diverse conditions.
No matter the product, Impact Solutions offers UKAS-accredited testing under our flexible scope, providing a variety of test methods and standards across numerous industries. These include ISO, SAEJ, ASTM, DIN, EN, PV, Ford, VW, and Nissan.
Our weathering lab has Q-Sun Xe-3 Xenon Arc Chambers with full spray capabilities and QUV weathering testers. We offer several UV options, including UVA, UVB, and UVC. These units can be booked on a tray basis, and our capacity allows us to customize our testing standards to meet your specific needs.
