Sunlight, heat, and moisture cause millions of dollars of material damage every year. The QUV Accelerated Weather Tester is used to simulate outdoor and indoor sun exposure on protective coatings. It tests materials by exposing them to alternating cycles of ultraviolet light, rain and dew at controlled, elevated temperatures. In a few days or weeks, the QUV tester can generate the same degradation that occurs over months or years outdoors.
We have put our products to the test for 1,000 hours and we have our results below.
