Polymer weathering & light-exposure selection

Select fluorescent UV or filtered xenon light and justified moisture/temperature cycles. Measure relevant retained mechanical, optical or surface properties. A changed exposure hash or a number of test hours cannot demonstrate a new standard revision or an unconditional outdoor lifetime.

Sample considerations

  • ASTM G154: Lamp type, irradiance, temperature, moisture cycle and property endpoints
  • ASTM G155: Filters, irradiance, temperature, moisture cycle and endpoints
  • ISO 4892-1: Exposure part, apparatus, controls and property endpoints
