Will Your Products Last Outdoors?

Q-lab FloridaKnowing the light stability and weatherability of your products is too important to chance.
Don’t guess when you can test.

Sunlight, heat and moisture can cause serious product deterioration - such as color change, cracking, peeling, oxidation or loss of strength.  Damage from weathering or corrosion occurs both outdoors and indoors, and its severity can vary greatly in different climates. Even materials that are resistant to sunlight alone or to moisture alone often fail when exposed to sunlight and moisture in combination. 

Q-Lab’s weathering testers and weathering testing services can help you prevent costly product damage and potential service failures.

Learn how even a small investment in weathering testing can yield big returns.
