What is UV Testing?

紫外线(UV)测试, 也被称为紫外线照射, light fastness or accelerated weathering reproduces the damaging conditions of ultraviolet radiation in a controlled laboratory environment. 曝光条件采用UV组合, and sometimes humidity and water spray to test materials and components for light fastness and degradation. 

Any product that has exposure to light - whether constant exposure (such as through being outside) or intermittent (perhaps indoors or behind glass) should undergo some form of UV weathering testing. 暴露在紫外线辐射下导致的问题包括变色, 光泽度降低, cracking, crazing, chalking, blistering, hazing, 或者产品在相对较短的时间内完全失效. 

紫外线测试通常在曝光后伴随着其他测试方法, such as adhesion, gloss, color, and strength testing.

如何进行紫外线测试?

During UV testing, your sample will be exposed to controlled UV radiation (per the decided specification), often using a test chamber simulating real-use conditions at an accelerated speed. Lab technicians will then observe your material and draw practical conclusions regarding visual and structural changes.

测试如何与我们产品的真实生存能力相关联?

Because of the variety of environmental factors involved in real-world scenarios, 比如地理位置或天气, it is not possible to directly and accurately correlate laboratory UV testing with specific time frames of real-world aging. However, benchmarks suggest suitable durations of exposure to ensure confidence in the product’s performance.
