Will your product stand up against the elements? Exposing your materials and products to the elements is an important way to ensure that your components and materials will outperform your competitors. Weathering tests at ARDL measure the performance of materials in real aging environments, simulated environments or accelerated lab environments. ARDL regularly provides weathering tests to help customers understand the property changes their materials may experience.
