SI180 Xenon Test Chamber
The xenon lamp aging test is a comprehensive climate testing method. In addition to performing general climate aging tests, it can also evaluate the light resistance of polymer materials by exposing them to an artificial light source that simulates sunlight transmitted through glass. The test simulates and intensifies key climatic factors such as light energy, temperature, and humidity.
A xenon arc lamp, capable of reproducing the full spectrum of sunlight, is used to replicate the destructive light waves present in various environmental conditions. The xenon lamp weathering test chamber provides relevant environmental simulation and accelerated testing for scientific research, product development, and quality control. It can be used for selecting new materials, improving existing materials, or assessing changes in durability after modifications to material composition. By simulating the full spectrum of sunlight, the xenon lamp test chamber reproduces destructive light waves under different conditions, offering a reliable method for environmental simulation and accelerated testing in research, development, and quality assurance.
