(Atlas: Linsengericht, Germany) -- Atlas Material Testing Technology, a global leader in weathering and lightfastness testing instruments and services, has expanded the performance capabilities of its Xenotest 440 and Xenotest 220/220+ xenon-arc instruments to conform to major American testing standards.

Used by a wide range of industries, air-cooled Xenotest instruments simulate the effects of natural sunlight, moisture, and heat to predict the service life of products, materials, and formulations.

While the Xenotest series has previously focused on European standards, the new enhancements enable these instruments to meet the specific testing requirements for American markets, including ASTM G155 for weathering testing of polymers, AATCC TM16 for lightfastness testing of textiles, and ASTM D7869 for weathering testing of transportation coatings.
