Many polymer materials are often be damage by natural environmental factors which from Earth’s surface and atmosphere when used outdoor. This affects their useful life.
Thermostatic chambers are used to simulate environmental conditions and to accelerate aging process of some properties of materials. Within days or weeks you can play the damages that occur in months and years of outdoor exposure.
Xenon lamp can simulate the distribution of complete solar spectrum and thus can provide a more accurate simulation, especially if you are running tests on the color change and photostability.
