Join Q-Lab experts for our first webinar series of 2026, focused on the basics of weathering!
Essentials of Laboratory Weathering Testing – 19 February 2026
Sunlight, heat, and water causes significant damage to coatings, plastics, inks, and other materials exposed to outdoor environments . Every day, accelerated weathering and light stability testing helps R&D, quality control, and new product development engineers improve their products, minimize failures, and reduce raw material costs.
With a wide variety of testing technologies and standard methods available, it can be hard to make sense of what various test instruments deliver and what’s best for your company’s products. Q-Lab’s technical experts are here to help explain the key aspects of UV fluorescent and xenon arc testing with our Essentials of Laboratory Testing Weathering Webinar.
Natural Outdoor Weathering Testing – 26 February 2026
Accelerated laboratory testing is an invaluable resource to help determine how products can perform in service. However, outdoor weathering testing is required for true benchmark data on material lifetime in outdoor service environments.
Outdoor testing is an important and inexpensive complement to accelerated testing that can help give manufacturers and suppliers confidence in their material testing, provide rapid, realistic results, and help to establish working Correlation Factors between laboratory and real-world results. This presentation surveys the range of outdoor testing options available, including different grographic locations, mounting angles, specimen backing, and more.
If you’re unable to attend live, you can watch recordings from our complete library of Q-Lab presentations here.
All webinars in this series will be presented in English.
