Artificial weathering
From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Weathering, artificial)
Artificial weathering The process of exposing composites to continuous or repeated environmental conditions designed to simulate conditions encountered in actual outdoor exposure. Such conditions include temperature, humidity, moisture, light in the ultraviolet range, and direct water spray. The laboratory conditions are usually intensified to a degree greater than those normally encountered in actual outdoor conditions in order to decrease the time necessary to achieve significant results.
