In the Fiat-Lancia 50451-01 standard, published jointly by Fiat automobile company and its subsidiary Lancia automobile company, the accelerated aging procedure in sunlight is explained for textile products used in the interiors of automobiles. This standard includes two test methods:
In both methods, the results of the long-term exposure of the flooring materials used in the interior of the automobiles to sunlight are determined in an accelerated method.
A Fade-Ometer device is a device used to detect the light fastness of a material, or its ability to resist yellowing and fading when exposed to light, by exposing the material to light radiation produced from a carbon arc or xenon tube. A Fade-Ometer is also used to measure the fading resistance of the pigments.
The Xenotest tester is also a large-capacity light fastness tester produced only for textile tests. The xenon lamp is filled with xenon gas and emits light due to xenon discharge. The energy distribution of the spectrum in this way is very close to that of sunlight and the color temperature is around 6,000K. In addition, the xenon lamp has a stable character, the spectrum energy distribution does not change at all in its limited lifetime. As a special light source, the xenon lamp has good consistency for electrical parameters.
Sunlight accelerated aging testing is a standardized test method applied in many different industries. This test is performed to determine the effects of time, if any, by exposing the samples to high temperatures.
The accelerated aging process is based on the relationship between the chemical reaction rate and temperature, where the reaction rate increases as the temperature increases. The accelerated aging test uses higher temperatures to accelerate the aging process by artificially representing real-time aging. Companies rely on these test results to get their products to market faster and provide the necessary assurance of safety and efficiency.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of Fiat-Lancia 50451-01 standard, accelerated aging procedure in sunlight for textile products used in the interior of automobiles. also provides services.
