We have a range of labels (CILS-TGWPET and CILS-TSSPET) that have been tested against UV exposure for 750 hours in a weatherometer.<\/p>\n
This is considered within the industry to mean that labels that pass this process should not fail within the expected lifespan of a product when used outdoors.<\/p>\n
Because of these factors, it is impossible to clearly say what 750 hours in a UV chamber represents in real-time end use outside.<\/p>\n The UV exposure is a standardised test with a Xenon Arc Lamp producing light in a certain wavelength at an intensity of 0.35 W\/m2: samples are exposed to this light for 102 minutes, followed by 18 minutes of exposure to water, then the cycle starts again. Both the temperature and humidity are controlled. This is a standard industry test and does not prove suitability for any particular application.<\/p>\n While long-term performance cannot be guaranteed for these materials due to the reasons mentioned above, they offer the highest level of outdoor durability compared to any other durable labels.<\/p>\n If you are scientifically minded and want to learn more about the challenges of comparing actual and simulated weather exposures on a synthetic material, we found this great read on Google: Service Life Prediction of Polymers and Plastics Exposed to Outdoor Weathering. <\/a><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Weatherometer Tested: Our CILS-TGWPET And CILS-TSSPET Labels Endure 750 Hours Of UV Testing To Ensure Outdoor Durability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":401,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-42","advice_article","type-advice_article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a><\/p>\n
