Q-Panel steel and aluminum substrates are supplied pre-cleaned, with a 1/4" (6 mm) hole. Our inventory of over a million panels means that 95% of our orders are shipped from stock.
The QUV is the world’s most widely used weathering tester. It provides the best simulation of short wave sunlight and outdoor moisture attack available for laboratory testing. All QUVs use ultraviolet lamps and feature a unique, hot condensation system. Water spray is available.
Available in flat array and rotating rack models, the Q-Sun reproduces the full spectrum of sunlight using xenon arc lamps and optical filters. Light stability and textile lightfastness testing are fast, easy and affordable with the Q-Sun.
Q-Lab Florida and Arizona are benchmark locations for outdoor weathering exposures. Contract laboratory weathering and corrosion test services are available. Weathering Research Service is A2LA accredited for ISO 17025.
The Q-Fog corrosion tester provides the best possible lab simulation of natural corrosion with a more realistic salt spray. Specimens are exposed to a series of different environments in a repetitive cycle that reproduces outdoor conditions.
Since 1965 the QCT Cleveland Condensation Tester has been recognized as the standard for condensation testing. It is useful for conducting fast, yet realistic blister tests using controlled warm condensation applied to the test surface.
Q-Lab Calibration Labs, located in the USA and UK, can calibrate radiometers for all weathering devices, as described in ASTM and ISO test methods. We are A2LA and UKAS accredited for ISO 17025.
This new xenon lightfastness tester is rapidly becoming the the standard for the textile indsutry. Visit Q-Lab's booht at the CTMA in Shanghai to see this new, affordable textile tester.
