Accelerated Aging Chamber

What is Accelerated Aging Testing?

The Accelerated Aging Test simulates real-time aging and shelf life by using elevated temperatures to artificially speed up the aging process. Aging test mainly refers to the thermal and oxygen aging test for rubber, electronic parts, plastic products, electrical insulation materials and other materials;

Accelerated weathering tester is a kind of equipment used to simulate environmental factors such as sunlight, natural light, ultraviolet rays, etc., and carry out artificial aging tests on materials and products. It uses a xenon lamp as a light source to simulate the solar spectrum to produce ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation, and conduct photoaging tests on materials and products to simulate the photoaging phenomenon in outdoor use environments and accelerate the aging process of materials for research and evaluation. Light aging performance and weather resistance of materials.

1、UV Weathering Tester (UVtest)

Qinsun UV Weathering Tester (UVtest) accelerated weathering tester reproduces the damage caused by natural sunlight, rain, and dew. In a few days or weeks, the Qinsun UVtester tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.

To simulate outdoor weathering, the Qinsun UVtester accelerated weathering tester exposes materials to alternating cycles of ultraviolet (UV) light and moisture at controlled, elevated temperatures. It simulates the effects of natural sunlight and artificial irradiance using special fluorescent UV lamps in the UVA, UVB, and UVC portions of the spectrum. It simulates dew and rain with condensing humidity and/or water spray.

Qinsun UVtester accelerated weathering tester is the simplest, most reliable, and easiest-to-use weathering tester available. 

2、Benchtop UV Accelerated Aging Chamber

The Bench-top UV Light Accelerated Aging Test Chamber is designed for conducting accelerated aging tests using ultraviolet (UV) light, temperature, and water exposure. It is primarily used to predict the durability of non-metallic materials, including coatings, plastics, and rubber. This chamber is especially effective for assessing the physical performance degradation of materials, such as reduced gloss, haze, strength loss, chalking, cracking, blistering, embrittlement, and color fading.

While the test results from this UV aging chamber cannot fully replicate natural weathering, it provides a reliable and quick way to assess the relative durability of materials. This makes it a valuable tool for evaluating the anti-aging properties of materials, testing and improving new or existing formulations, and ensuring consistent product quality.

3、Box-Type UV Accelerated Aging Chamber

The UV accelerated aging test chamber adopts the imported UVA-340 fluorescent UV lamp as the light source, which can simulate the harm caused by sunlight, rain and dew. UV weather box uses fluorescent UV lamp to simulate the effect of sunlight, and condensation moisture to simulate dew. The tested materials were placed in a cycle program of alternating light and moisture at a certain temperature, and the accelerated weathering test was carried out to obtain the results of the material's weathering resistance. In a few days or weeks, the UV box can reproduce the outdoor hazards that appear in months or years. Hazard types include: fading, discoloration, loss of light, powder light, cracking, turbidity, bubbles, embrittlement, strength, decay and oxidation, etc. This machine includes spray device.

UV accelerated aging test chamber is the world's most widely used ,can be used in more labs throughout the world than any other accelerated weathering tester. It's used widely in the industry, such as printing ink, paint, pastics, print, packaging,motor van, metal, electron, medical, and so on.

4、Tabletop Xenon Arc Weathering Tester (SunMaster)

Xenon Lamp Weathering Test Chamber Qinsun SunMaster is a compact floor-standing model that utilizes a xenon lamp as its light source to accurately replicate the full spectrum of sunlight. It also effectively controls temperature and humidity to create periodic precipitation on the sample.

This comprehensive simulation allows for a thorough assessment of the impact of sunlight, moisture, and temperature on the degradation of polymer materials. Material aging encompasses fading, loss of light, reduced strength, cracking, spalling, chalking, and oxidation, among other factors.

The xenon lamp emits light that effectively replicates sunlight, while the water spray system reproduces rain's effects. Throughout the testing cycle, radiation energy and temperature remain under precise control. Typically, the test cycle involves xenon lamp irradiation at high temperatures and periodic rainfall simulations. This equipment finds widespread applications in various industries, including paint coating, automotive, plastics, wood products, adhesives, and more.

5、Xenon Arc Weather Ometer Si4000

SI4000 Xenon Arc Weather Ometer utilizes a xenon lamp to simulate ideal natural climate and sunlight conditions. It is suitable for suitable for aging tests of various industries and products, and can accurately measure the lifetime of products., including textiles, wire and cable, plastics, coatings, and building materials. Its exceptionally cost-effective performance rivals the industry's CI series weathering chambers, enabling precise testing of product lifespan while ensuring excellent repeatability and reproducibility.

This instrument simulates natural climate and artificial sunlight using a xenon lamp by varying temperature, humidity, and spray conditions. It is suitable for testing color and performance changes in materials across a wide range of industries. It reliably simulates full-spectrum sunlight to test the aging resistance of materials. The test samples placed at a certain temperature, light and moisture at alternating cycles using a set program can replicate months or years of damage caused by outdoor weathering in a matter of days or weeks.

Aging test is divided into temperature aging, sunlight aging, loading aging and so on. There are many commonly used aging test methods, including climate aging test, ultraviolet aging test, ozone aging test, high and low temperature alternating aging test, media aging test, humidity and heat aging test, hot air aging test, salt spray aging test and so on.
