Introduction

Fading Resistance Test in Chennai

🌞 What Causes Fading?

Fading occurs when materials—especially pigments, dyes, and polymers—break down under prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light. This can lead to:

  • Discoloration and yellowing

  • Surface degradation or cracking

  • Loss of gloss and finish

  • Compromised structural integrity

Such changes can not only reduce the visual appeal but also affect the material’s performance and consumer trust.


🔍 The Role of Fading Resistance Testing

Fading Resistance Testing simulates real-world exposure to ultraviolet (UV) or xenon light, enabling manufacturers to predict how long a material will maintain its appearance. Our testing includes:

  • Controlled lighting conditions (UVA, UVB, Xenon Arc)

  • Regulated temperature and humidity

  • Long exposure durations to simulate extended outdoor use

We help clients evaluate changes in color, gloss, haze, and mechanical properties over time.


🌐 Applications Across Industries

Industries that heavily rely on aesthetics and performance over time benefit the most from fading resistance testing, including:

  • Automotive: Dashboard panels, seat trims, plastic covers

  • Consumer Goods: Plastic casings, bottles, packaging

  • Construction: Wall panels, roofing materials, external coatings

  • Textiles: Sportswear, curtains, uniforms

  • Electronics: Housings for outdoor equipment and devices
