SAUV856 uses UV fluorescent lamps to replicate the effects of sunlight. The internal temperature can be appropriately set to achieve consistent condensation on the sample, thoroughly evaluating damage caused by sunlight, humidity, and temperature (effects caused by material aging may include discoloration, loss of intensity,
cracking, fissuring, crumbling, and oxidation).
The chamber accelerates aging processes that would normally take months or years into days or weeks. UV light simulates sunlight, while the condensation and water spray system mimics rain and dew effects.
Users can choose between UVA or UVB lamps. UVA lamps accurately simulate sunlight in the short-wave range and are commonly used for testing sun damage effects. UVB lamps, with a shorter wavelength, create a more severe environment suitable for testing durable materials exposed to intense sunlight for extended periods.
Typical test cycles involve exposure to strong UV light or periods of dark, humid conditions with 100% relative humidity.
These tests are essential in industries such as paints, coatings, automotive, plastics, and wood to assess material durability and
performance under environmental stressors.
