Xenon Weather-Ometer For Lightfastness Testing
INTRODUCTION
The THE-002A Master is a lightfastness tester designed to meet the
requirements of ISO 105 B02 and AATCC Test Method 16 standards. It
has a rotating specimen rack and provides precise control of
critical test parameters including spectrum, irradiance, relative
humidity, chamber temperature and black standard temperature.
USAGE
To determine the resistance of the color of textiles to fade when
exposed to artificial light (xenon arc) which is representative of
natural daylight.
