SEPAP MHE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SEPAP MHE is an advanced instrument designed for accelerated photoaging of polymers. It aims to understand the aging mechanisms of polymers exposed to outdoor conditions by examining chemical changes at the molecular level. The device uses a mercury vapor lamp to replicate and accelerate the chemical processes that lead to the degradation of polymer properties over time.
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Equipped with a 1000 W mercury vapor lamp.
  • Irradiance control ranging from 90 to 300 W/m² (290-420 nm).
  • Exposure area of 1040 cm².
  • Full-color multi-lingual user interface with a 5.7’’ TFT touch screen.
  • Radio-controlled on-rack light and BST monitor (XENOSENSIV).
  • Precise control of irradiance, Black Standard Temperature (BST), and chamber temperature.
  • Humidity control and specimen spray system available in the SEPAP MHE+ model.
Technical Specifications:
  • Specimen rack capacity: 1040 cm².
  • Specimen holder size: 14.5 x 4.8 cm.
  • Test positions for foils: 135.
  • BST range: 20-100 °C; CHT range: 20-70 °C.
  • Humidity range (MHE+): 10-95%.
  • Integrated 60-liter water reservoir (MHE+).
  • Dimensions: 90 x 78 x 180 cm; Weight: 290 kg.
  • Electrical requirements: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, approx. 2.8 kVA power consumption.
Standards Compliance: The SEPAP MHE complies with various standards including EN 16472, ISO 10640, and others specific to automotive manufacturers like Peugeot and Renault.
Additional Features:
  • Storage for 10 user-defined test methods.
  • Graphical display of test parameters and easy data acquisition.
  • Software add-ons for online programming and monitoring.
Conclusion: The SEPAP MHE is a comprehensive solution for accelerated photoaging testing, offering precise control over testing conditions and compliance with international standards. It is suitable for research and development in polymer aging and durability.

SEPAP MHE-2

Features SEPAP MHE FEATURES AND BENEFITS The SEPAP MHE is designed to perform accelerated photoaging of polymers with the aim of understanding the aging mechanisms of polymers exposed outdoors and examining the chemical evolution at a molecular level. Using a mercury vapor lamp, the SEPAP MHE is able to replicate and accelerate the chemical mechanisms responsible for the gradual loss in properties of polymers during their lifetime. The SEPAP MHE is capable of operating in an accelerated and ultra-accelerated mode by controlling the irradiance between 90 W/m² and 300 W/m² (290420 nm). This latest...
