The need for anti-aging equipment to simulate testing textiles under sunlight exposure

The need for anti-aging equipment to simulate testing textiles under sunlight exposure

Some textile applications are very demanding. The textile roofing structure at the Denver Airport is an example. Not just for aesthetic reasons, the fabric it uses must withstand years of sun and rain.

Liuchin Technologies serves hundreds of textile manufacturers and textile buyers in a variety of applications, including: apparel fabrics, carpet and floor coverings, military and industrial tent covers, pool covers, curtains, parachutes, automotive interiors, awnings, woven polypropylene bags (FIBC), outdoor furniture, sunscreen, work cloths, and more.


Common light stability tests for apparel and design fabrics are run in the LQ-XD programmable xenon lamp aging chamber, which is recognized by all major standards organizations, including ISO and AATCC. Textiles and fabrics that are intended for long-term, outdoor use need to be tested both in the LQ-XD programmable xenon lamp aging chamber and in the LQ-UV UV degradation aging chamber, which is a good simulation of the outdoor use environment in the laboratory.

Tinuvin 1130: An Excellent UV Absorber

 In the field of the chemical industry, UV absorbers play a crucial role, particularly in protecting materials from UV damage. Today, we will delve into a highly regarded UV absorber—Tinuvin 1130. Tinuvin 1130 : chemical name: 3-(3-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butyl phenyl)propionic acid polyethylene glycol 300 ester; CAS login number: 104810-48-2. This product is an exceptional UV absorber that offers numerous benefits due to its unique properties. One of the standout features of Tinuvin 1130 is its excellent weather resistance. It has a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, particularly those with wavelengths ranging from 290-400nm. This effectively prevents coatings, plastics, rubber, and other materials from being damaged by UV rays, thereby maintaining the performance and appearance stability of these materials and extending their service life. In addition, Tinuvin 1130 exhibits good compatibility. It is easy to emulsify in water-based systems and can be...

Air-cooled Xenon Lamp Aging Tester

  The air-cooled xenon lamp aging tester is a device that uses an air-cooled system to dissipate heat and a xenon lamp to simulate ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light in natural sunlight to perform accelerated aging tests on materials. It is commonly used in industries such as automobiles, coatings, plastics, rubber, and textiles. It can evaluate the aging resistance of materials under the combined effects of long-term light, temperature, humidity and other environmental factors in a relatively short period of time, helping companies improve product quality, extend service life, and optimize product anti-aging formulas and processes. Structural composition:  The main body is a test chamber, equipped with a xenon lamp and a matching optical filter system to simulate sunlight of different wavelengths, as well as temperature, humidity, lighting time and other control and adjustment devices, as well as an observation window and a sample rack. Working principle: The...

The Structure of Hexapod Tumble Tester

The Hexapod Tumbler Tester is a popular apparatus used in the evaluation of the appearance retention of carpets. Drum – constructed of Nylon or other like material and capped by a lid that is secured by a latching device. The drum and lid have a locating groove to hold the specimen backing sheet flat to the inner wall of the drum. A photograph of a typical drum is show in Photograph 1 and Photograph 2. The drum dimensions are:   Internal Diameter: 12 ± 0.18 in. (302 ± 5mm) Wall Thickness :0.3 in. approx. (8 mm approx.) Internal Depth: 8.2 ± 0.2 in. (207 ± 5 mm)  Driving System - cradles the drum on rollers and keeps the axis of the drum level, and rotates the drum at 35 ± 2 rpm (3.6 ± 0.2 rad/s). The driving direction reverses after approximately 500 revolutions.  After the 500 rotations the unit will stop and stand stationary for approximately 5 to 15 seconds, then begin rotating in the opposite direction. After 2000 rotations the unit will stop and w...
