Natural Weathering Testing
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The increased demand for getting decision-making data as fast as possible makes more and more companies turn to accelerated weathering. But no accelerated weathering program can be complete without the confirmation from and correlation to natural weathering. Natural weathering provides the data you need to ensure that your product is covered against costly liability issues.

Weathering Test Services
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The climates of southern Florida and central Arizona are recognized as global benchmarks for natural weathering environments. The warm, humid, subtropical environment of our outdoor test sites in Miami and the intense sun and arid climate of our site in Phoenix are some of the harshest climates to which your products can be exposed. Often the best natural weathering test scenario requires testing in a variety of climates. For that reason, Atlas offers the world’s largest network of outdoor weathering test facilities with more than 20 sites worldwide.

SUNTEST Family
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
SUNTEST instruments are compact material test chambers for accelerated lightfastness and weathering testing based on filtered xenon lamp technology. All SUNTEST chambers offer a horizontal test plane which is particularly useful for testing 3-D specimens. Lightfastness testing aims at testing a material under solar radiation and temperature only – Weathering testing adds water and moisture to the test.
