SUNTEST Family; CPS+, XLS+, XXL+
SUNTEST instruments are compact and efficient material testing chambers designed for accelerated testing of lightfastness and weathering using advanced filtered xenon lamp technology. Their innovative design includes a horizontal test plane, ideal for evaluating both 3D and flat specimens with precision. Lightfastness testing focuses on assessing material performance under solar radiation and temperature, while weathering testing incorporates the additional effects of water and moisture for a comprehensive evaluation. By intensifying environmental stresses, SUNTEST chambers simulate years of natural exposure in just weeks. This allows you to observe critical material property changes—such as color fading, embrittlement, and cracking—in real-time, enabling faster and more reliable durability assessments.
Technical information
SUNTEST CPS+: Compact Benchtop Xenon Test Chamber
The SUNTEST CPS+ is a trusted benchtop xenon chamber with over 40 years of use worldwide for testing polymers, cosmetics, packaging, and printing. With a 28×20 cm test area, it’s perfect for small specimens. Applications include UV stability, light stability of chemicals (colors, scents, additives), sun protection factor testing for skincare, and product shelf-life (ASLT).
SUNTEST XLS+: Advanced Testing for 3D Specimens and Industry Standards
The SUNTEST XLS+ offers double the exposure area of the CPS+ and features the tallest test chamber, making it ideal for 3D specimen testing. Compliant with ISO, ASTM, and ICH standards, it supports water application through spraying or flooding. With a touchscreen for easy programming and Ethernet connectivity for seamless integration.
SUNTEST XXL+: Extra-Large Test Chamber for Advanced Weathering Testing
The SUNTEST XXL+ features an extra-large chamber for standard lightfastness and weathering tests, automatically managing all key weathering parameters. Its tall design makes it ideal for 3D specimen testing. With a touchscreen for easy operation and Ethernet connectivity for seamless integration, it ensures efficient and reliable performance.
It can be application-tailored to get special features for testing Consumer goods, Food & beverages, and Packaging or Automotive exterior/interior parts according to SAE.
