Color Fastness and Durability Xenon Arc Light Chamber

A color fastness and durability xenon arc light chamber is an advanced weathering simulation system engineered to replicate the full-spectrum impact of natural daylight, UV, infrared, temperature, and moisture in a controlled laboratory environment. Equipped with a 4500W xenon arc lamp, programmable irradiance 35-150 W/m², and environmental control from Ambient to 100 ℃ and 50%–98% RH, it enables accelerated fade-resistance, gloss retention, embrittlement, and surface durability testing.

What makes this chamber essential is its ability to meet ISO 105-B02 (textiles), ASTM G155 (weathering), AATCC TM16, SAE J2412, and other international standards, ensuring results align with global compliance and product qualification requirements. For manufacturers of automotive interiors, coated fabrics, plastics, and consumer goods, the color fastness and durability xenon arc light chamber provides future-proof reliability insights before products reach real-world sun exposure.

Why Choose the Color Fastness and Durability Xenon Arc Light Chamber

1️⃣ Multi-material color stability testing built into one platform

From textile fibers to automotive dashboards and outdoor coated metals, the color fastness and durability xenon arc light chamber supports diverse geometries and materials, enabling cross-industry UV weatherability comparison without additional equipment.

2️⃣ Real-time monitoring ensures exposure accuracy

Integrated sensors track irradiance, BPT (black panel temperature), humidity, and water spray in real time, preventing fluctuating sunlight simulation and delivering highly reproducible color fastness results.

3️⃣ Energy-optimized xenon lamp extends test runtime

With improved optical filtering and cooling design, the system maximizes lamp life cycle, reducing consumable cost while maintaining precise durability exposure performance.

4️⃣ Advanced water spray and condensation create wet–dry fatigue

The xenon arc light chamber reproduces rain erosion, moisture absorption, and hydrolysis—failure modes critical for outdoor fabrics and polymer components—beyond the capability of standard UV-only testers.

5️⃣ Touchscreen programmable controller simplifies complex standards

Pre-configured test programs aligned with ISO 105-B02, ASTM G155, AATCC TM16, and others allow fast setup, reducing operator learning curve while ensuring consistent, globally compliant test execution.
