Snowstorm Blizzard Weathering Testing

With potential history making  Winter Storm Juno  set to be a blizzard in 7 USA states almost upon us, manufacturers of outdoor products maybe wondering how their products will hold up under the predicted extreme cold temperatures blustery wind  and 1-3 foot of snow.

Today, we received a request from a  Waterproofing Materials Manufacturer that needs a laboratory for testing the  insulation properties for coating on  concrete at a temperature of  minus 30 degree.  This request is number 15-00148 in our incoming Laboratory Testing Requests.

When developing a product, manufacturers need to consider designing it for the temperatures that it will encounter and be subjected to over it’s lifetime.  Weathering testing can either be done by Real-Time Studies or Accelerated Studies . Both simulate  the damage caused by sunlight, rain and dew.  Some testing done  is weatherability, lightfastness, colorfastness, corrosion and photostability  .  ASTM, ISO, BSI, DIN, JIS, SAE, AATCC all have standards related to weathering testing.  To learn more about weathering testing , visit our Weathering Page.

If your company is manufacturing or distributing a product that needs weathering testing, SUBMIT LAB TEST REQUEST
