UV aging chambers and xenon aging chambers are core industrial weathering testing devices for evaluating material yellowing, chalking, cracking and overall durability. They differ significantly in light spectrum, simulation mechanism, test focus and applicable scenarios. This guide helps users select the right equipment based on actual test needs and industry standards.
1. UP-6200 Series UV Aging Chamber (Ultraviolet Fluorescent Aging Test)
The UP-6200 Series UV Aging Chamber uses UVA/UVB fluorescent lamps as its core light source. It simulates only the ultraviolet band of natural sunlight — the most damaging spectrum for polymer materials — to accelerate photoaging. It effectively reproduces common aging phenomena including material fading, yellowing, chalking and cracking under long-term UV exposure.
With fast testing cycles, high acceleration efficiency and low maintenance costs, this device is ideal for conventional weathering tests on plastics, rubber, coatings, inks, textiles and packaging materials. It fully complies with ASTM G154 and GB/T 16422.3, widely used for batch quality inspection and raw material performance comparison.
2. UP-6117 Series Xenon Aging Chamber (Full-Spectrum Natural Weathering Test)
The UP-6117 Series Xenon Aging Chamber adopts a full-spectrum xenon arc lamp to simulate complete natural sunlight, covering ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectra. It supports comprehensive environmental simulation including water spray, temperature & humidity circulation and condensation, perfectly restoring real outdoor alternating weather conditions.
Its test results are highly consistent with actual outdoor aging conditions. Designed for high-standard weather resistance evaluation, it suits automotive interior & exterior parts, outdoor building materials, high-end coatings and outdoor textile products. Compliant with ASTM G155 and GB/T 16422.2, it supports product lifespan assessment and official compliance certification.
3. Quick Selection Guide
UV Aging Chamber Suitable for rapid aging screening, raw material comparison and batch quality control. It features high efficiency and cost performance for conventional material testing.
Xenon Aging Chamber Ideal for high-precision outdoor weathering tests. It is used for accurate lifespan evaluation and high-end product certification for products serving long-term outdoor exposure scenarios.
