Application of UV aging Test Chamber in furniture

 Furniture is usually used in indoor and outdoor environments and is exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet rays and other climatic factors. These factors may cause color fading, surface deterioration, quality degradation or other performance problems of furniture materials. In order to evaluate the durability and performance of furniture materials, the UV aging Test Chamber can simulate ultraviolet radiation and climatic conditions in the real environment and conduct performance evaluation by accelerating the aging process of furniture.

Specific steps

The following are the specific steps of UV aging test box in furniture application:

1. Select furniture materials that meet the requirements, such as wood, fabric, paint, glue, etc. According to different parts and materials of furniture, select appropriate samples for testing.

2. According to the test requirements, determine the parameters such as ultraviolet radiation source, temperature, humidity and radiation time in the test box. These conditions should be able to simulate real ultraviolet radiation and climatic conditions, such as sunlight exposure, high temperature, humidity, etc.

3. Fix the sample of furniture materials on the sample bench of the test box to ensure that the sample surface is exposed to ultraviolet light sources. For large furniture, representative samples can be selected for testing.

4. Start the ultraviolet aging test box to expose the sample to the simulated ultraviolet radiation. According to the set test conditions, the radiation is for a certain period of time. At the same time, the damp-heat cycle can be selectively carried out to simulate the real climate environment.

5. Regularly monitor and record the performance changes of furniture samples. Appropriate instruments and equipment, such as color measuring instruments, Tensile Testing Machines, etc., can be used to measure and record the color changes, strength, surface quality and other indicators of furniture.

6. According to the test data and evaluation index, analyze the aging degree and performance changes of furniture samples. Compare the differences between different test samples to evaluate the durability, stability and service life of furniture materials.

Testing through UV aging test box can provide durability evaluation of furniture materials, guide manufacturers and users to choose suitable materials, and ensure the performance and appearance requirements of furniture in actual use. This helps to provide high-quality and durable furniture products to meet the needs and expectations of consumers.

Industry standard

In the UV aging test of furniture, you can refer to the following industry standards:

1. ASTM G154 is a standard issued by the American Society for Materials and Testing (ASTM) for operating fluorescent ultraviolet (UV) lamp equipment to perform exposure tests on non-metallic materials. This standard provides operating procedures and requirements for ultraviolet aging tests.

2. ISO 4892-3 is an international standard issued by the International Organization for the Advancement of Materials (ISO) for the exposure of plastic materials to laboratory light sources, including fluorescent ultraviolet (UV) lamps. The standard specifies the methods and conditions for ultraviolet aging testing.

Specific application

Specific application cases include but are not limited to the following areas:

1. Indoor furniture: Ultraviolet aging test box can be used to evaluate the durability and color stability of indoor furniture materials. For example, the surface coating of wood furniture, dyes and fibers of fabric furniture, and the appearance of plastic furniture.

2. Outdoor Furniture: The UV Aging Test Chamber can be used to evaluate the weather resistance and durability of outdoor furniture materials. For example, the materials, coatings and dyes of outdoor furniture can be used in natural environments such as long-term exposure to sunlight, rain and temperature changes. Performance.

3. Vehicle interiors: The UV aging test box can be used to evaluate the light resistance stability and color fastness of vehicle interiors. For example, fabric materials for car seats, plastic materials for door trim panels, etc., under daily use and long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays. Performance.

4. Commercial office furniture: UV aging test boxes can be used to evaluate the durability and appearance changes of commercial office furniture materials. For example, the fabric of office chairs, the coating of desk and the performance of wood materials under different office environment conditions.

5. Home decoration: UV aging test box can be used to evaluate the durability and color stability of home decoration materials. For example, plastic shells for decorative lamps, fabric materials for wall decoration, etc., under long-term exposure to indoor light and sunlight. Performance.
