Atlas’ Weathering Seminars and Workshops
Chicago (USA)/Linsengericht-Altenhasslau (Germany), February 2008 – Atlas Material Testing Technology will offer a series of training courses on weathering and the operation, calibration and maintenance of Atlas’s testing instruments at multiple locations worldwide. The seminars and workshops are focussed on individuals involved with designing, evaluating, specifying, selling or purchasing products that can be affected by exposure to light and weather, such as coatings, plastics, textiles and cosmetics.
“Product testing standards continually evolve, and so do manufacturing processes. Continuing education on weathering is vital to the many professionals who have key responsibilities related to product performance and durability,” said Bruno Bentjerodt, Director of Client Education, Atlas Material Testing Technology, Linsengericht, Germany.
The following international events are scheduled for the first half of 2008:
Fundamentals of Weathering I+II, Lochem, Netherlands - 15./16. April 2008
Fundamentals of Weathering I+II, Paris, France - 10./11. April 2008
Fundamentals of Weathering I, Leipzig, Germany - 3. June 2008
Fundamentals of Weathering I+II, Chicago, USA - 18./19. June 2008
Ci4000/Ci5000 Weather-Ometer workshop, Chicago, USA - 17. June 2008
Xenotest® workshop, Linsengericht, Germany - 4./5. March 2008
The basic, one-day Fundamentals of Weathering I and II seminars emphasize lightfastness and weathering durability testing techniques. These techniques include natural and accelerated outdoor exposure testing as well as laboratory accelerated methods and instruments.
The instrument workshops are structured such that the majority of the class time is spent working on the instruments. This hands-on format encourages participation and ensures that each student becomes comfortable with the particular instrument.
