Accelerated Weathering tests

The field tests are the most reliable testing technique but waiting for a long time for result is not commercially viable. The ability to forecast climatic resistance of paint and coating is highly important. Accelerated weathering is a laboratory technique for short term reproduction of the damage that sunlight and moisture cause on outdoor exposed materials in the longer term (months or years). The special acceleration coefficients calculated for different climatic zones allow to forecast paint and coating lifetime in laboratory conditions in a shorter period.
