What is UV Testing?

Ultraviolet (UV) testing, also known as Ultraviolet Exposure, 耐光性或加速风化在受控的实验室环境中再现紫外线辐射的破坏条件. The exposure conditions use a combination of UV, 有时用湿度和水喷雾来测试材料和部件的耐光性和降解性. 

任何暴露在光线下的产品,无论是持续暴露(如在室外)还是间歇性暴露(可能在室内或玻璃后面),都应该进行某种形式的紫外线风化测试. Issues resulting from exposure to UV radiation can include color loss, reduction in gloss levels, cracking, crazing, chalking, blistering, hazing, or complete product failure in relatively short periods. 

UV testing is often accompanied by other test methods post-exposure, such as adhesion, gloss, color, and strength testing.

How do you Perform a UV Test?

During UV testing, 您的样品将暴露在受控的紫外线辐射下(根据确定的规格), 通常采用模拟实际使用条件下的加速试验箱. 然后,实验室技术人员将观察您的材料,并得出有关视觉和结构变化的实际结论.

How does the Test Correlate to the Real-World Survivability of our Product?

因为在现实世界中有各种各样的环境因素, such as geographical location or weather, 不可能直接和准确地将实验室紫外线测试与现实世界老化的特定时间框架联系起来. However, 基准测试建议适当的暴露时间,以确保对产品性能的信心.
