1.2″ (3 cm) 300W Plastics, Paints & Coatings Testing Solar Simulator Kit Model 16S-300-003
The 300W 16S-300-003 Materials Testing Solar Simulator Kit produces a 1.2″ (3 cm) output in the 290-400nm range, also available UVA only, UVB only, UVA+B, or full spectrum sunlight optionally. Common materials tested include plastics, paints, coatings, inks, dyes, vinyls and fabrics.
Our state of the art single output 16-Series Solar Simulators produce solar UV radiation in the 290-400nm range, and can be quickly and easily configured by the user to provide UVA only, UVB only, UVA+B, or full spectrum sunlight optionally. This simulator can output 1 year’s worth of UV in as little as 5 days (depending on spot size,) providing rapid acceleration test results.
These precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed to comply with laboratory standards such as ASTM, IEC, and ISO. By eliminating the visible and infrared light from its output, UV levels 20-30 times stronger than tropical sun can be produced without the thermal component associated with these high levels of light. This is ideal for measuring the damaging effects of UV during materials testing. Everything you need to begin testing immediately is included in the kit – the 16S-Series 300W Simulator, DCS-2 Automatic Dose Controller, NIST-traceable PMA-Series UVA+B Sensor, safety glasses, and other accessories.
Plastics testing is one of the most common tests carried out because of the abundance of plastic found in the outdoor environment, such as garden furniture, artificial surfaces, house trims, outbuilding doors, window frames, and much more.
