Accelerated Aging Equipment

Accelerated aging tests simulate the damage caused by environmental factors like sunlight, UV rays, rain, dew, salt, and other elements. These tests are performed in a lab, allowing the technician to replicate in just a few days or weeks conditions that would naturally take months or even years to occur.

The process uses lamps that mimic UV exposure or Xenon lamps, helping to analyze how sunlight affects the durability and appearance of materials. Salt fog spray tests are also used to replicate corrosion from environments with high salt content, which is particularly important in industries such as automotive, coatings, and galvanic treatments.

Climate chambers are essential for these tests. They recreate specific conditions of temperature and humidity which help evaluate how materials perform under extreme conditions, ensuring their quality and durability in tough environments.

UV chambers are used to simulate UV light exposure and humidity on testing materials like plastics, rubber, wood, paints, and coatings. These tests help assess issues like discoloration, loss of gloss, and cracking.

Salt spray or fog cabinets are designed for corrosion testing, especially for metals, paints, and protective coatings. These chambers create a salt-heavy environment, simulating highly corrosive conditions and providing valuable insights for industries dealing with high salt exposure, such as automotive and infrastructure.

This equipment helps predict how products will perform in challenging environmental conditions, ensuring that the necessary standards for durability are met.
