Why Test Outdoors? Outdoor exposure is the best way to test the weatherability of materials. We recommend testing in several locations because the primary weathering forces (sunlight, high temperature and moisture) vary greatly from place to place throughout the world. Microenvironments may cause localized differences in exposure results. Florida and Arizona are the international benchmark locations for natural weathering. Florida has high intensity sunlight, high year-around temperatures, high annual rainfall and high humidity. Arizona has a hot, dry, high UV radiation environment and extreme...
