The ConductScience UV Aging Test Chamber uses fluorescent UVA and UVB lamps to replicate the degradation effects of outdoor sunlight and weathering on materials and coatings. Environmental damage that accumulates over months or years outdoors can be reproduced in days or weeks in the chamber, enabling rapid material qualification, formulation screening, and durability certification.

Three models are available, each adding a layer of environmental simulation: BJPX-UATC1 provides UV lighting alone for photodegradation and lightfastness testing; BJPX-UATC2 adds a programmable condensation cycle for combined UV and humidity exposure; BJPX-UATC3 adds a rain cycle for full accelerated weathering simulation including UV, humidity, and rainfall events.

Common degradation phenomena reproduced include surface fading, discoloration, chalking, cracking, peeling, and embrittlement. Applications span coatings, inks, resins, plastics, packaging materials, adhesives, automotive components, cosmetic formulations, metals, and consumer electronics.

Key Features

  • Imported UVA-340 and UVB-313 lamps with verified spectral output
  • Extended lamp lifespan: 1,800–2,500 hours
  • Built-in irradiatometer with real-time UV intensity feedback and closed-loop control
  • Automated PLC controller for precise programming of lighting, condensation, and rain cycles
  • Safety interlocks preventing lamp tube displacement during operation
  • Auto-feed water tank controller (≤25mm tank depth) for unattended long-duration runs
