When we buy something, whether, for private or professional use, we always hope that it will retain its characteristics as much as possible.

In other words, that it will last<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, in industrial coating, this can be precisely defined<\/strong>, leaving little room for doubt and misunderstanding.

This is an ageing simulation in which special instrument subjects selected materials to alternating cycles of radiation with special UV lamps and humidity, as well as controlled high temperatures. It is an extremely useful test to understand the resistance of a surface treatment against time and external agents, in order to evaluate its long-term effectiveness<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n

One of the most interesting aspects of this test is the so-called “irradiance control”: this is a precision control system that automatically maintains the light intensity<\/strong> thanks to a feedback system. In practice, a dedicated controller<\/strong> monitors the intensity of the UV light and compensates for any lamp decay or other variable by adjusting the power.<\/span><\/p>\n
