Xenon Arc Weathering Testers

Q-Sun xenon test chambers are the ultimate research & development and quality control tool for testing materials that are exposed to direct sunlight, sunlight through window glass or indoor lighting. With a variety of models and options, you can customise your Q-Sun chamber to fit your testing needs. Three basic models suit the xenon testing needs of any lab: the tabletop Q-Sun Xe-1, the rotating rack Q-Sun Xe-2, and the large-capacity Q-Sun Xe-3.

Sunlight, heat and moisture cause millions of dollars in product damage every year. Cracking, crazing, hazing, fading, and yellowing can occur indoors or outdoors. With Q-Sun xenon test chambers, you can simulate the damage caused by full-spectrum sunlight, temperature, and moisture. In just a few days or weeks, a Q-Sun tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.

Q-Sun test chambers are used by companies worldwide in dozens of different industries and applications to aid in the selection of new materials, the improvement of existing materials or the evaluation of how changes in formulation affect product durability.

Will your product last outdoors? Don’t guess when you can test!
