Atlas has been designing and manufacturing material weathering test equipment for more than 100 years, initially starting with carbon–arc lighting technology inside. Since the introduction of the first xenon-arc based weathering instrument – the Xenotest 150 – xenon-arc instruments, also known as Weather-Ometers®, Xenotest® or SUNTEST®, have become indispensable tools for new product development and quality control.
Accelerated testing with xenon weathering instruments provides multiple benefits. Most importantly, they help you minimize the risk of premature product failure, deliver fast stability screening of new materials / formulations, optimize the use of costly additives, and provide comparison against competition. Since the introduction of its first xenon weathering instrument, Atlas has continuously set performance benchmarks with state-of-the-art technology.
