  • 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.

  • Test Method Development

    Test Method Development

    Solar radiation, heat, and water are acting synergistically on materials and components, causing ageing processes and ultimately product failure. Accelerated weathering instruments simulate and control these primary weather factors.

    This seminar explains how to develop a realistic, precise, and correlating accelerated weathering test method. The starting point is always the end-use environment, from which worst case conditions are derived, which are then translated into test parameters. ASTM D7869 is a recent example of such test method development.

    Often, multiple laboratory and outdoor weathering tests are combined into a “test program” that includes materials, components, and the final product. Examples from the automotive and PV industries will be discussed.

  • Séminaire Tests de stabilité à la lumière des emballages et cosmétiques

    Séminaire Tests de stabilité à la lumière des emballages et cosmétiques

    L’utilisation d’ingrédients naturels est une tendance majeure pour tous les produits de grande consommation et notamment les cosmétiques. Les consommateurs veulent des produits cosmétiques peu transformés et exempts d’ingrédients artificiels. Cependant, les nouvelles formules de produits excluant par exemple les colorants/arômes/additifs artificiels peuvent créer des problèmes de stabilité à la lumière et de durée de conservation de ces produits. Comment se comporteront donc vos nouveaux produits?

    Atlas le sait, grâce à ses 40 années d'expérience dans les tests de stabilité à la lumière appliqués aux cosmétiques.

    • Nous démontrerons comment des tests de 1 à 5 jours avec l'Atlas SUNTEST® peuvent accroître la confiance dans la qualité et la durée de conservation des produits.
    • Vous montrer comment sélectionner les meilleurs ingrédients et types d'emballage.
    • Expliquer comment les tests d'emballage sont effectués pour garantir une stabilité de couleur suffisante tout au long de sa durée de vie prévue. 

    Le séminaire comprend une démo SUNTEST en direct et dispose d'un temps alloué pour répondre à vos questions. Inscrivez-vous gratuitement et apprenez au cours d'une formation d'une demi-journée comment améliorer votre programme de tests cosmétiques.

  • Time Scales in Environmental Ageing of Polymers

    Time Scales in Environmental Ageing of Polymers

    Under the synergistic impact of solar radiation, heat, and moisture, all polymeric materials undergo chemical and physical ageing. These weathering effects lead to changes in properties and ultimately to product failure. Photodegradation, chemical, and physical processes, as well as external stresses run on very different time scales. Some effects can easily be accelerated. Others, like diffusion, migration, or water uptake need time to evolve. The result are fundamental limitations in the overall acceleration that can be achieved in an accelerated but correlating laboratory test. Knowing about the relevant aging processes and understanding their time scales and acceleration limits is critical to making the right testing decisions.

    Under the synergistic impact of solar radiation, heat, and moisture, all polymeric materials undergo chemical and physical ageing. These weathering effects lead to changes in properties and ultimately to product failure. Photodegradation, chemical, and physical processes, as well as external stresses run on very different time scales. Some effects can easily be accelerated. Others, like diffusion, migration, or water uptake need time to evolve. The result are fundamental limitations in the overall acceleration that can be achieved in an accelerated but correlating laboratory test. Knowing about the relevant aging processes and understanding their time scales and acceleration limits is critical to making the right testing decisions.

    Fundamentals of Weathering l and ll

    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.

    Wednesday, November 6th, 2024: 8 am - 5 pm

    The seminar includes a DSET site tour: During the tour, see Atlas' newest outdoor accelerated test instruments: the Ultra-Accelerated EMMA®, Low-Temperature EMMA® and Ultra-Accelerated Weathering System in action.

    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.

  • Grundlagen der Bewitterung I

    Grundlagen der Bewitterung I

    Bewitterung I
    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.

     

    Bewitterung II
    8:30 bis 16:15 Uhr

    Aufbauend auf Teil I, der die Prüftechnik behandelt, befasst sich Bewitterung II intensiv mit der Wirkung der Wetterfaktoren auf polymere Werkstoffe. Das Seminar gibt Aufschluss über die messtechnische Erfassung der Wetterfaktoren und behandelt die Strahlungs- und Temperaturmesstechnik als kritische Faktoren. Die Planung und Durchführung von Bewitterungsversuchen unter Verwendung von Referenzmaterialien bilden einen weiteren Schwerpunkt des Seminars. Die statistische Auswertung von Bewitterungsstudien sowie eine Diskussion der Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Beschleunigung, runden das Programm des zweiten Tages ab.

    Die beiden Tage können unabhängig voneinander gebucht werden.
