By accelerating and intensifying environmental conditions, it is possible to predict how products will perform during their lifetime. ATS has the capability to conduct a wide variety of simulated weathering and artificial aging tests. Because product development cannot wait for years of actual outdoor exposure, accelerated laboratory weathering can provide results in a fraction of that time. With a clear understanding of the mechanisms and variables of natural weathering, it is possible to obtain reliable comparative results in a matter of weeks rather than years.
