Fading Resistance Test in Chennai
Why Fading Resistance Testing is Crucial for Product Excellence – Now in Chennai
Introduction
- In today’s global market, customers expect more than just performance—they expect durability, consistency, and aesthetics that last. Whether it's a car interior, plastic packaging, or outdoor textile, the appearance of a product often defines its quality in the eyes of the user. That’s where Fading Resistance Testing comes in. Now available at Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory in Chennai, this essential test ensures your products retain their color, clarity, and appeal over time—even under the harshest light exposure conditions.

🌞 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

Automotive: Dashboard panels, seat trims, plastic covers
Consumer Goods: Plastic casings, bottles, packaging
