    Fundamentals of Weathering I and II

    Fundamentals of Weathering I Seminar
    This seminar emphasizes lightfastness and weathering durability testing techniques. These techniques include natural and accelerated outdoor exposure testing as well as laboratory accelerated methods and instruments. The seminar will introduce the basics of how various factors of weather and climate, such as solar radiation, heat and moisture, may affect materials and how to test the resistance of a formulation or product to them. Special attention is given to the testing techniques of paints and protective coatings, automotive materials, architectural building products and molded plastic materials. Textile and fiber lightfastness and weatherability are also discussed.

    Important to note: the course in Phoenix will include a tour of the Atlas DSET outdoor exposure site.

    Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025: 8 am - 5 pm

    Fundamentals of Weathering II Seminar
    This seminar examines in greater detail how various factors of weather and climate, such as solar radiation, heat and moisture, may affect materials and how to test the resistance of a formulation or product to them. Topics of discussion will also include how measuring devices for light, moisture, and temperature function, and the identification of some common errors associated with their use. In addition, the way advanced laboratory equipment controls irradiance, humidity, and temperature will be addressed in greater detail, as well as a review of visual and instrumental evaluation methods for both appearance and physical attributes. Detailed background and development information on ASTM D7869, the new standard test method for automotive (transportation) coatings.

    This seminar addresses how environmental stress factors are translated into artificial weathering test cycles. Examples are given on the most common test methods for automotive, textiles, coatings, and other applications. Guidance is given on what should be considered and what should be avoided when developing significant weathering test methods.

    Fundamentals of Weathering: Weathering Testing - Acceleration

    This seminar addresses the principles on how acceleration can be achieved in weathering testing. Technical solutions are described. What should be considered to get reliable and significant results from accelerated testing? How can reciprocity be validated? This seminar will give some answers. It will be explained how acceleration models can be used for service life prediction.

  • Fundamentals of Weathering: Weathering Testing - Correlation

    Fundamentals of Weathering: Weathering Testing - Correlation

    To evaluate and to understand accelerated weathering testing, it is important to know how the results “correlate” to real world weathering. In this seminar mathematical/statistical procedures are described on how to compare and how to validate weathering results from different exposures. Basic principles on how to increase correlation are discussed. It will be explained why good correlation is important for service life prediction.
