Better Tests = Better Results The Right Light™ Story Wavenumber ratio Filter Comparison FTIR Spectroscopy - New vs. Weathered Coating Miami Sunlight Xenon arc filters used in weathering tests are assessed mostly by the physical measurement of their UV spectral transmittance. However, given the inherent variability in such measurements, they may be insufficient to make critical judgments. In addition to transmittance measurements, the procedure described herein as the Ford Methodology (The Method), incorporates a procedure involving actual weathering tests of a carefully selected coating material....

The Chemistry Proves It procedure applied to critical coating sample sensitive to solar cut-on Comparisons of Light Sources A Comparison of Sunlight Sources and Xenon with Various Daylight Filters CIRA/SODA LIME FLATBED DAYLIGHT - Miami, Florida The Method Identifies Correct Light The Method Identifies Light That is Sufficiently Close to Sunlight When the method is applied to samples exposed to sunlight in Miami, Florida, Phoenix, Arizona and in an EMMAQUA® (concentrated sunlight) accelerated outdoor weathering device, it shows that similar chemistry is occurring in all cases. This is demonstrated...

Additional Benefits of Right Light™ Technology u Right Light Technology can be used in all Atlas Ci Weather-Ometers Spectral power distribution of Right Light meets the requirements of ASTM D7869-13 “Standard Practice for Xenon Arc Exposure Test with Enhanced Light and Water Exposure for Transportation Coatings,” and all test methods that specify a “Daylight” filter, such as ASTM G155 and ISO 4892-2 u A Right Light/Quartz filter combination has higher transmittance than a new Type S Boro/Type S Boro combination at 340 nm, providing several additional benefits: u • 15% less lamp power required...
