US Webinar: Why Test in Arizona?

The hot, dry desert of Arizona is one of the world's key benchmark site for outdoor weathering testing. This harsh climate complements Florida Subtropical exposures by providing even higher levels of sunlight and hotter temperatures, with nearly none of the moisture characteristic of Florida.


In this all-new webinar, Mike Crewdson - Q-Lab's Technical Director of Testing Services - will explain how natural Arizona Desert testing is essential for understanding how materials will perform in hot, dry climates. Topics include:

  • Differences in failure modes between dry and wet climates
  • A comparison between conditions in Florida and Arizona
  • Example materials like VOCs and plasticizers that are susceptible to hot, dry conditions
  • Regions of the world featuring dry climates and what makes Arizona unique as a test site

Live presentations will be held at 8 am and 11 am EDT on Thursday, 20 Aug. Register for this free event using the form at right and look for Part 1 of the series as well, explaining the benefits of testing in Florida.
