Tasks

  • For companies:
    The following devices are available for long-term analyses: 

QUV-Panel-Tester

  • In this device, plastic surfaces are irradiated with UV light (UV-A and/or UV-B) as a simulation of accelerated ageing and optionally alternately dewed with water vapour.
  • Device: Q-U-V Accelerated Weathering Tester 

Climate change test device

  • In this climate chamber, temperature (from - 80 to 180 °C) and humidity (above 0 °C from 0 to 100% r.h.) can be set constantly or varied according to predefined programmes. This allows ageing tests to be carried out according to various standardised specifications.
  • Device: Heraeus-Vötsch HC 7015
