Xenon Test Chamber

The Xenon test chamber is a crucial tool for accurately assessing color change, lightfastness, and material degradation in products. It employs xenon arc lamps to replicate full-spectrum sunlight, ensuring realistic simulation. The chamber introduces moisture through water spray (optional), creating thermal shock and mechanical erosion, simulating the damage caused by sunlight and rain. Controlled humidity and temperature, monitored by a black panel temperature sensor, contribute to precise material testing. Equipped with a Daylight - F Filter, it accurately reproduces the spectral qualities of direct sunlight. This chamber is an optimal solution for evaluating the durability and performance of various materials within a short timeframe of days or weeks.
