UV BOX COFOMEGRA (UVA, UVB)
Maker: Cofomegra - Italia
The UV accelerated aging test reproduces the damage caused by sunlight, rain and dew. In a few days or weeks of exposure of samples inside the UV BOX you can reproduce the damage that takes place in months or years of exposure outside.
To simulate aging due to external weather, UV BOX subjects materials to alternating cycles of UV radiation and humidity at controlled high temperatures. The instrument simulates the effects of sunlight through the use of special UV fluorescent lamps and the simulation of the dew effect and rain takes place through condensation or a water spray (Spray option). UV radiation is responsible for almost all photodegradation processes of durable materials exposed to the external environment. The fluorescent lamps used in UV BOX simulate critical UV short waves and realistically reproduce the damage caused by sunlight. The types of damage that can be simulated with UV BOX are as follows: color change, loss of brilliance, cleavage, cracks, cracks, blisters, veiling, fragility, loss of robustness and oxidation.
UV lamps
UV fluorescent lamps are more stable than other types of lamps and offer the best UV simulation of the sun. The spectral distribution (SPD) is not modified with the aging of the lamp, even after thousands of hours of operation, and this feature results more reproducible results, lower frequency of lamp replacements and a reduction in operating costs.
UVA-340 lamps
Uva-340 lamps provide the best simulation of sunlight in the critical wavelength region from 365 nm up to the cut-off solar value of 295 nm.
UVB-313 lamps
UVB-313 lamps maximize acceleration through the use of more aggressive UV short waves than those that normally arrive on the Earth's surface. As a result, for some materials these lamps may produce too severe results.
