The 3081 cm2 specimen tray is perfect for high volume testing and testing of large components and three dimensional parts. Standard sample holders for flat samples guarantee maximum throughput. The exposure area has a slope of 5° to most accurately simulate outdoor testing and water run off from sample surfaces.
Both, the XXL and XXL+ come with our easy-to-use color touch screen.
Two models: The SUNTEST XXL is ideal for lightfastness and weathering testing and the SUNTEST XXL+ with its internal water tank for spray and humidity functions is also ideal for weathering testing.
