The QUV®/cw photostability tester provides a standard cool white fluorescent test chamber that meets ANSI, ASTM and ISO test methods for indoor photostability testing.
Many products intended for home, office, and commercial environments have never been adequately tested for resistance to indoor lighting. Photodegradation from indoor lighting can cause unexpected product failures that range from the aesthetic to the hazardous. Common indoor light damage includes fade and color change of pigments and dyes, yellowing of plastics and photodegradation of pharmaceutical products.
