Solutions for outdoor exposure

We have a range of labels (TGWPET and TSSPET) that have been tested against UV exposure for 750 hours in a weatherometer.

This is considered within industry to mean that labels that pass this process should not fail within the expected lifespan of a product when it is used outdoors.

This however is very subjective and dependent on a number of factors.

Because of these factors it is impossible to clearly say what 750 hours in a UV-chamber represents in real time end use outside.
The UV-exposure is a standardized test with a Xenon Arc Lamp producing light in a certain wavelength at an intensity of (0.35 W/m2), samples are exposed to this light for 102 minutes followed by 18 minutes exposure to water then the cycle starts again. The temperature is controlled as well as the humidity. Note that this is a standard industry test to compare labels against each other and a control, it is not a test to prove suitability for any particular application.
