A total of 14 presentations have been scheduled, including:
- Accelerated weathering device for service life prediction for organic coatings
- Artificial weathering and outdoor exposure of polyester coatings
- Influencing variables of weathering results on coatings for plastic components in the automotive industry
- Simulation of natural weathering
The conference will provide insight of the newest results and the latest weathering technologies. It will, furthermore, offer the chance to get to know the climatic and the environmental conditions of the Atlas outdoor weathering site of Sanary-sur-Mer.
Since 1930, Atlas has maintained global outdoor weathering sites, not only in the most important reference climates of the world, but also in different climates for special applications. Today, Atlas Weathering Services Group (AWSG) offers 23 outdoor sites around the world. The site in Sanary-sur-Mer (south of France), on the Mediterranean Sea, becomes more and more important for European testing and is evolving into a European reference climate.
The conference is open to all. If interested, please contact Bruno Bentjerodt, Client Education, +49 6051 707 245 or visit our website: www.atlas-mts.com.
