Common Q-Lab Systems

 
WEATHERING

QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester

  • The QUV accelerated weathering tester reproduces the damage caused by natural sunlight, rain, and dew. In a few days or weeks, the QUV tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.
FULL SPECTRUM — COMPACT

Q-SUN® Xe-8 XENON ARC CHAMBER

The Q-SUN Xe-8 is the NEW standard in large capacity, rotating rack xenon arc weathering testers. It is the simplest, most reliable, and easiest-to-use tester available in its class.

FULL SPECTRUM — HIGH CAPACITY

Q-SUN Xe-3 Xenon Test Chamber

The full-size xenon test chamber has three lamps for maximum specimen capacity. Built for high-throughput labs running multiple tests simultaneously.

  • Three xenon lamps — the largest exposure area in its class
  • Rotating specimen rack for uniform exposure
  • Dual water spray (front and back of specimens)
  • Programmable humidity, irradiance, and temperature control
 

Why This Matters More in Australia & NZ

 

Materials that last 10 years in Europe often fail in 3–5 years here. Here's why.

15–30%
Higher UV than the Northern Hemisphere

A thinner ozone layer and clear skies mean materials degrade faster than anywhere else on Earth.

85%
Population in coastal corrosion zones

Salt-laden air accelerates metal and coating degradation dramatically across most of Australia.

55°C+
Extreme thermal cycling

From sub-zero winters to extreme outback heat, thermal stress cracks, delaminates, and warps materials.

The Cost of Not Testing

 

Product failures caught in the lab cost hundreds. Caught in the field, they cost millions.

Coating recall (automotive)
$100M–$300M
Building facade recoat
$500K–$5M
Mining equipment downtime
$10K–$50K/day

For every $1 invested in Q-Lab testing

$20–$300+

in failure costs avoided

The question isn't whether you can afford to test — it's whether you can afford not to.
