Weathering
What happens to a product if it is exposed to weather conditions over the long term? The ageing process can be accelerated in a laboratory through artificial weathering. The material samples rotate around a Xenon light source, which simulates the spectrum of sunlight, and are also sprayed with water in a climate-controlled test chamber. In particular, weather tests are required for the automotive, plastic, textile and building materials industry, as well as the paint and varnish sector.
