The VIRTUAL STRIPCHART™ data logging software collects data from Q-Lab testers and stores it on a personal computer. It records and displays data on critical test parameters such as temperature, irradiance, and relative humidity. The VIRTUAL STRIPCHA...

The Universal Calibrator system (UC) is a revolutionary system for calibrating temperature and irradiance across all Q-Lab weathering chambers. It utilizes inexpensive, modular, and disposable “smart sensors” to simplify calibrations and dramatically...

Outdoor testing is the only way to have full confidence that your product will be able to withstand the punishing forces of weathering - sunlight, heat, & moisture. While Florida and Arizona are international benchmark locations for natural weath...

Sunlight, moisture, and high temperatures are the primary forces which cause the deterioration known as “weathering.” The fast material degradation that occurs at our benchmark exposure sites in Florida and Arizona is a result of the synergistic effe...

Q-SUN® accelerated weathering testers can be used to test a variety of specimens. Flat or three-dimensional specimens can be placed directly on trays or mounted using specialty holders in the Q-SUN Xe-1 and Xe-3. The rotating rack of the Xe-2 is perf...

The Q-SUN® xenon test chamber from Q-Lab offers state of the art, full-spectrum photostability test exposures for pharmaceutical and cosmetics applications. Q-SUN testers are available in two sizes with options that meet ICH Guidelines for Photostabi...

For years, weathering testers have utilized light, heat, and moisture. What happens when a fourth environmental factor, such as acid rain, perspiration or swimming pool water, enters the weathering equation? These other factors can significantly chan...

Weathering causes millions of dollars of product damage every year. Damage includes color change, gloss loss, strength loss, cracking, peeling, chalking and oxidation. The main causes of weathering are sunlight (especially UV), high temperatures, and...
