Climatics » Ultraviolet Exposure & UV Testing

At E-Labs, we provide Ultraviolet Exposure & UV Testing, aka "Solar Radiation Testing" or "Sunshine Testing", to evaluate how materials and products withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This test is vital for industries where products are frequently exposed to sunlight, ensuring they maintain their appearance, functionality, and durability over time.

UV Exposure Testing can reveal:

• Colorfastness and fading issues
• Surface cracking or embrittlement
• Loss of mechanical strength
• Thermal overload (Item operating during exposure leading to excessive heat)

UV Exposure Testing helps prevent material degradation as prolonged UV exposure can cause fading, discoloration, cracking, and weakening of materials. Our testing simulates extended exposure to sunlight, helping you identify and mitigate potential damage before it occurs. Testing also enhances product longevity by determining how your products perform under UV light. This helps you to choose UV-resistant materials or coatings, reducing the risk of failure in outdoor environments. Many industries, such as automotive, construction, and aerospace, require products to meet strict UV resistance criteria. UV Exposure Testing ensures compliance with these regulations, giving your products a competitive edge.

At E-Labs, we also customize your testing to your specific needs or to Military & Commercial Industry standards. Contact E-Labs for your custom quote.
