Comparação de tecnologia e aplicações com arco de xenônio e fluorescência UV
Comparação de tecnologia e aplicações com arco de xenônio e fluorescência UV
Uma pergunta comum sobre intemperismo é “Qual método mostra melhor correlação com a radiação solar, fluorescência UV ou intemperismo de arco de xenônio?”. Muitas vezes, a resposta é simplificada para: arco de xenônio deve ser usado se a mudança de cor for um problema, UV fluorescente deve ser usado se a degradação da matriz for um problema. No entanto, a resposta geralmente é muito mais complexa. Este seminário on-line deve ajudá-lo a identificar qual tecnologia de teste é mais adequada para sua aplicação. “Quando a fluorescência UV pode ser uma opção de teste econômica? Quando não há alternativa ao arco de xenônio? O que pode ser feito para ambos os métodos obterem os resultados mais significativos?”

Weathering, UV Test, Solar Simulation, Photostability - Different Worlds or Different Words for the Same?
Weathering, UV Test, Solar Simulation, Photostability - Different Worlds or Different Words for the Same?
Accelerated Weathering, Lightfastness, UV, Photostability, Photodegradation, Shelf Life, Solar Simulation, Solar-Climatic, Accelerated Ageing, Environmental Durability Test, … Are these just different words for the same test? Or do these tests actually indicate different combinations of different stress factors?
The key to understanding the differences and similarities is the applications. Different industries, e.g. the pharmaceutical, paint, PV, or textile industries and consequently different standards committees, have developed different testing philosophies adapted to their needs, their applications and their product life times. In addition, specific designations have been derived from different historical roots, e.g. from photography, electronics, chemistry, pharma, or material engineering. Finally, misleading terms such as "climate chamber" are widespread.
This seminar dives deeper into the world of weathering and environmental ageing testing, discussing different and similar concepts, defining and comparing the terminology used, explaining the historical background and correcting common misconceptions.

Light stability testing of consumer goods inside transparent packaging (ASLT)
Light stability testing of consumer goods inside transparent packaging (ASLT)
An important topic because light can do a lot of damage to consumer products and packaging.
We will closely look at the potential risks of light to consumer products inside transparent packaging, products such as beverages, food, or cosmetics.

9:00 – 16:30 Uhr
Das Grundlagenseminar Bewitterung I befasst sich mit Prüftechniken zur Bestimmung der Licht- und Wetterbeständigkeit von Materialien aller Art. Das Seminar zeigt, wie verschiedene Faktoren des Wetters/Klimas, wie z.B. Sonnenstrahlung, Wärme und Feuchte sich auf ein Material auswirken können, und wie man die Widerstandsfähigkeit von Ausgangsmaterialien oder fertigen Endprodukten gegen diese Einflüsse prüfen kann. Die häufigsten natürlichen und künstlichen Prüfanwendungen werden besprochen. Die Kursteilnehmer lernen die gängigsten Prüfmethoden und Normen kennen (DIN, ISO, SAE, ASTM etc.). Praktische Beispiele zur Korrelation und Beschleunigung sowie die Freibewitterung mit ihren vielfältigen klimatischen Bedingungen werden erörtert.
