Paint for architectural coatings is not only used to give surfaces an attractive appearance, but also plays a very important role in protecting facades against external damage and corrosion. To avoid waiting years to see if the coating really protects the surface, simulating and measuring weathering influences is necessary.
Paint coating systems are exposed to severe environmental influences such as strong temperature variations, moisture and aggressive media such as acid rain, insect residue or strong cleaning agents. Facade coatings should withstand such influences and have quality characteristics such as light fastness, weathering resistance and easy cleaning.
