  Qualifying New Materials

  May 15, 2025 | Dr. Oliver D Rahaeuser

  Applications

  Qualifying new materials for new product development is one of the primary purposes of xenon-arc weathering testing. Typically, this is a stepwise approach involving comparative and extended testing as well as natural exposures.

  Temperature Control: Two Sensors Are Better Than One

  April 24, 2025 | Dr. Oliver D Rahaeuser

  Technology

  Xenon-arc weathering instruments use black surface temperature sensor in addition to a air temperature sensor to provide a more accurate representation of the test conditions experienced by the materials being tested. For precise testing, a xenon weathering instrument must be equipped with both sensors.

  Studying Polymer Photo-Degradation on Molecular Level

  September 15, 2023 | Dr. Oliver D Rahaeuser

  Technology

  Before we dive into the topic, we need to briefly recap a few basics about xenon-arc weathering. Without a doubt, xenon-arc weathering is one of the most valuable tools to determine product durability and service-lifetime. Xenon-arc acceleration, i.e., the factor of how much faster the test is compared to real-life, is usually between 10 and 20 – which does not satisfy everyone’s expectations.
