Building Material Quality / Reliability Testing

Weather durability testing is a necessity for any products that must endure the harsh treatment of Mother Nature. Whether it's the prolonged hot dry sun of Phoenix or the humid, windy sun of Chicago, EYE Lighting / Iwasaki can provide the best systems to recreate these environmental conditions for repeatable testing. Regardless of your product, from paint to laminate materials, the ability to prove durability under extended outdoor exposure is critical. EYE Lighting / Iwasaki is unique in our expertise in developing a variety of lighting sources to match system performance, and cost, with test requirements. 

UV rays are the greatest cause of product deterioration. This system intensifies the deterioration acceleration caused by UV rays and creates property changes equivalent to extended outdoor exposure. Its compact size makes it ideal for the testing stage of research and development of paints, inks, pigments and fibers as well as plastics.

EYE / Iwasaki Solar Simulation Weathering Systems

• Iwasaki proprietary lighting technology provides the right source meet to best match your testing requrements.

• Systems comply with international standards for testing methods for accelerated weather-resistance testing for paint

• Xenon lamp and filter systems provide testing conditions closest to actual spectral distribution of sunlight. Correlation with outdoor rainfall, high RH/low temperature condensation, and day/night cycles have been substantially improved.

• Unsurpassed uniformity and repeatability.

This system has become the standard weather-durability tester by Japanese and International standards organizations such as ISO, JIS and ASTM for its ability to obtain high correlation between spectral distribution similar to sunlight and the natural outdoor environment. The irradiation output can be adjusted to further accelerate durability testing.
