To assess the long-term resistance of multi-material compounds / joints and coatings, accelerated ageing tests can be conducted. Test cycles can be performed according to the currently valid automotive or DIN standards.

The climate equipment also features a salt spray chamber, suntest automates, a tempered media chamber and a pressure cooker unit.
