Accelerated climate testing of materials, exposed to salt, moisture, heat and UV-radiation.

FORCE Technology has many years of experience with accelerated climate testing of materials with or without surface treatments/coatings and paints. FORCE Technology has cabinets for salt spray testing, humidity testing and UV-radiation. 

We can perform salt spray (salt fog) tests under variety of corrosive environments. For a typical salt spray test, a highly corrosive atmosphere is created by heating the cabinet to 35° C and exposing test elements to 5% NaCl. Testing is carried out in accordance with international ISO, EN and ASTM standards, for example DS/EN ISO 9227.

Humidity chamber testing is carried out by applying constant or interrupted moisture, with or without corrosive gases. Testing is carried out in accordance with international ISO, EN and ASTM standards such as DS/EN ISO 3231:1998. 

FORCE Technology also offers accelerated aging and UV weathering testing.
