Wood coatings UV weathering resistance testing at AWL
We are pleased to be helping Chemicals Ltd choose the best performing wood protective coatings for a variety of colours and formulations after UV weathering resistance testing according to EN 927-6. This narrowband UV test has a physical water spray function (rain cycle) within its test profile designed to induce thermal shock and to remove UV affected degraded coating as the exposure period progresses. EN927-6 is also used primarily as the ‘pre-fire testing’ process to establish whether coatings remain fire-retardant after UVA simulated solar radiation is applied.
