Accelerated weathering - Suntest CPS+(II)

The practical benchtop xenon lamp unit with useful accessories to tailor your SUNTEST towards your needs. Here you see the SunCool chiller (for pharmaceuticals / cosmetics), the SunTray sample exchanger (for in-vitro SPF), and the SunFlood immersion unit (for coatings / sealants).

The SUNTEST CPS+ is used to test for property changes of materials caused by sunlight, temperature and moisture in a short period of time. Product changes happening outdoor or indoor over months or years, such as fading, yellowing or embrittlement can often be simulated within weeks inside a SUNTEST.
