Q-Lab Florida offers outdoor weathering testing & accelerated laboratory testing.
Q-Lab Corporation is a global provider of material durability testing products since 1956. We design and manufacture standard test substrates as well as weathering, light stability, and corrosion testers. In addition, contract test services which include accelerated laboratory testing are available at Q-Lab Florida, Q-Lab Arizona, and Q-Lab Deutschland. Outdoor exposure testing for weathering, lightfastness and corrosion are available at Q-Lab Florida and Q-Lab Arizona.
Florida is the internationally recognized benchmark location for outdoor exposure testing. Florida subtropical weathering exposures are not only realistic, they are also accelerated. One year of Florida weathering can give similar results to several years of weathering exposure elsewhere. Our Florida site has high-intensity sunlight, high annual UV, high year round temperatures, abundant rainfall and very high humidity.
It is this synergistic effect of UV, moisture and heat that makes Miami the ideal location for testing durability of materials in outdoor environments.
Q-Lab Florida has more specimens on test than any other outdoor weathering facility in the world. We offer natural outdoor exposure testing, accelerated laboratory testing and specimen evaluation services. These contract test services are ISO 17025 accredited.
