Suntest XXL+

The Atlas SUNTEST XXL+ is a large xenon lamp weathering and lightfastness testing instrument that meets various ISO, ASTM and ICH industry standards. Its 3000 cm2 horizontal exposure area is best in class for testing 3D samples. The SUNTEST XXL+ is used to check the changes in the properties of materials and products caused by sunlight, temperature and humidity in a short period of time. Aging that occurs outdoors or indoors over months or years, such as fading, yellowing or loss of strength, can often be simulated in a few weeks in the SUNTEST.
