Free White Paper “Weather Durability Testing

Sunlight incl. UV, heat and water are causing weather degradation of paints and coatings. These weather factors vary with climatic and geometric environment.

Accelerated laboratory weathering testing has become a standard tool to understand ageing effects and avoid premature product failure. For data interpretation and quantifying acceleration, it must be complemented with outdoor tests. Meanwhile, a broad portfolio of static, tracking, and accelerated outdoor technologies and methods are available. Choosing the right combination of lab and outdoor tests is crucial for your success.

In this 40-page White Paper you learn about:

• Different coating types and their components
• Weather factors and their impact on coatings
• Climate zones and benchmark testing locations
• Static and accelerated outdoor weathering test methods
• Laboratory light sources and instrument technology
