In the paint and varnish industry, the weathering and aging resistance of a product is an important indicator of its quality. Sonacme's Xenon Lamp Weathering test chamber complies with ISO 11341-2004, an international testing standard, and provides an efficient and accurate testing solution for the coatings and varnishes industry.

Testing Capabilities

The ISO 11341 standard was developed specifically for evaluating the performance of coatings and varnishes under artificial weathering and artificial radiation exposure. The standard specifies in detail the test equipment, reagents, and operating procedures to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of test results. Designed with these requirements in mind, Sonacme's Xenon Lamp Weathering test chamber can accurately simulate the ultraviolet (UV), visible light and infrared (IR) components of the solar spectrum, and effectively reduce unwanted short-wave radiation through a filtration system, enabling a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the light aging performance of paint and varnish samples.

Unique Advantages

 Sonacme's Xenon Lamp Weathering test chamber adopts a unique rotating drum design, which enables the test samples to be uniformly irradiated by the light source during the test, avoiding testing errors caused by different sample positions. At the same time, the rotating drum design also enhances the temperature uniformity on the surface of the sample, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test. In addition, the tester is equipped with an advanced irradiance control system that automatically compensates for output degradation caused by lamp aging, ensuring a constant irradiance level throughout the test cycle.
