Artificial leather light source exposure test

When industrial or daily necessities made of artificial leather or synthetic leather are used in a semi-open or open environment, material degradation will inevitably occur under the action of natural light, heat, water, etc. In severe cases, unexpected product damage will occur. Therefore, the weathering resistance of such products must be reasonably designed.
The artificial leather light source exposure test can use laboratory light sources to test and evaluate the accelerated aging of artificial leather and synthetic leather.
Zhongke Testing Reliability Experiment Center has the ability to test the reliability of various artificial leather and synthetic leather, and provides professional light source exposure test services for artificial leather.

1. Classification according to the synthetic resin used: polyvinyl chloride artificial leather, polyamide artificial leather, polyolefin artificial leather, polyurethane artificial leather.
2. Classified by base material: cotton cloth-based artificial leather, synthetic fiber-based artificial leather and fiber-based artificial leather.
3. Classification by production method: direct coating and scraping method artificial leather, transfer coating and scraping method artificial leather, calendering and laminating method artificial leather, extrusion laminating method artificial leather, rotary screen coating method artificial leather, wet method artificial leather.
4. Classification by use: Artificial leather can be divided into two categories: civil use and industrial use.
Civilian leather includes: leather for shoe covers, leather for clothes, leather for boxes, straw for bags, leather for handbags, leather for gloves and carts, straw for furniture, etc. Industrial leather includes: vehicle leather, floor leather, etc.

There are 3 methods for artificial leather and synthetic leather laboratory light source exposure test:
Xenon arc lamp method (A method)
Fluorescent UV lamp method (Method B)
Open carbon arc lamp method (C method)
