Artificial weathering was carried out for 2000 h (after 650 MJ/m2 irradiation) with a Xenon tester CI 3000 (test device KL 31) according to DIN EN 11341. Artificial weathering was conducted at the following test conditions:
A factor of 15-25 can be applied to this 2000 h test. Assuming factor 20 and an average of 7 sunshine hours per day (Central Europe) this corresponds to a weathering period of 15 years.
The following assessments were carried out to characterize the weathering resistance:
„eph-Institut“ was provided with 15 material samples with two test specimen each. One specimen of each version was subject to the weathering test.
Resysta led in collaboration with the renowned Dresden “eph-Institut” a “artificial weathering of selected materials”.
The xenon test was selected as the test method.
Resysta combines all the materials tested
natural look and feel are the most convincing with longevity.
