Accelerated Laboratory Weathering

For those who are interested in accelerated weathering and light stability testing but are not yet ready to purchase QUV or Q-SUN test equipment, we offer a wide range of accelerated weathering laboratory exposure testing services in our fully-equipped laboratories in Florida and Germany.

Q-Lab weathering and light stability tests are used for quality control, material certification, exterior durability studies, and predictions. Q-Lab can also act as an unbiased third party wherever external verification of test results is required. See our Test Services brochure for more information on our accelerated weathering testing capabilities.

Fast Results

Although actual outdoor exposures are an ideal way to test your products, sometimes you can't afford to wait a year or two for real-time test results. We can give you fast and reliable weatherability, lightfastness, colorfastness, and photostability data using our large array of QUV, Q-SUN, and QCT accelerated weathering laboratory testers. Backed by decades of outdoor testing experience, Q-Lab experts can help you set up a successful accelerated laboratory testing program.
