Accelerated Weathering Test

An Accelerated Weathering Test is a laboratory process that simulates outdoor environmental conditions, like sunlight, rain, and temperature changes, to evaluate how materials such as plastics, paints, or coatings will perform over time. By exposing samples to intense UV light, moisture, and heat, the test speeds up the natural weathering process, allowing manufacturers to assess durability, resistance to fading, cracking, or degradation in a shorter period. This helps predict the material’s lifespan and ensures it will withstand real-world conditions, ultimately improving product quality and reliability.
