Xenon - Xenon Arc Aging Tests

Xenon / xenon arc aging tests are tests to simulate indoor and outdoor sunlight in surface treatments, coatings and polymers. The equipment used to conduct these tests is called weatherometers. The ASTM G155 standard has been developed by the American Testing and Materials Authority (ASTM) for use in these tests (the standard for operating xenon arc light apparatus for exposure of non-metallic materials).

Xenon - Xenon Arc Aging Tests

The Xenon arc light device is used to detect the effects of sunlight, humidity and temperature in the laboratory environment and property changes associated with end-use conditions. This tester simulates weathering caused by atmospheric pollution, biological attack and exposure to salt water. In other words, xenon arc device creates the effects that occur when the materials are exposed to sunlight in natural environment or when exposed to moisture as rain and dew.

Since long test times are both costly and delay development, short test procedures that can simulate the natural environment are now preferred. In this way, the companies get faster results and decomposition cycles designed specifically for the enterprises are provided with earlier detection methods.

Outdoor weather conditions can be simulated with Xenon arc devices. In this way, standardized tests and special tests with separation cycles are applied according to the demands of the enterprises.

In the xenon / xenon arc aging tests performed in laboratories, the following standards are mainly taken into consideration:

  • TS EN ISO 4892-2 Plastics - Methods of exposure to laboratory radiation sources - Part 2: Xenon arc lamp

  • TS 4460 EN ISO 105-B04 Textile - Color fastness tests - Part B04: Color fastness to artificial weather conditions withering test with xenon arc lamp

  • TS EN ISO 16474-2 Paints and varnishes - Exposure method to laboratory light source - Part 2: Xenon-arc lamp

Our company also provides xenon / xenon aging test services within the scope of specific testing services. Thanks to these services, enterprises are able to produce more efficient, high performance and quality products in a safe, fast and uninterrupted manner.
Xenon / xenon aging test services provided within the scope of specific testing services are only one of the services provided by our organization in this respect. Many other specific testing services are also available.
