The QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester is used to simulate long-term exposure of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs) to sunlight, moisture, and environmental conditions through controlled cycles of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and condensation. A 4,000-hour accelerated weathering test is conducted to evaluate the UV stability, colour retention, gloss retention, and overall weather resistance of paint coatings applied on ACPs.
This testing helps predict long-term outdoor performance of ACPs and ensures that the panels retain durability, aesthetic appeal, and protective performance under prolonged environmental exposure.
