Accelerated Weathering Testing with Xenotest
440 helps You avoid costly Mistakes
Changes and failures due to the harmful effects of light, temperature and
moisture, such as colour fading, embrittlement or yellowing can be simulated
inside Xenotest 440 realistically within days or weeks as they may occur over
the course of months or years in their end-use environment.
