Weathering Test Services
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The climates of southern Florida and central Arizona are recognized as global benchmarks for natural weathering environments. The warm, humid, subtropical environment of our outdoor test sites in Miami and the intense sun and arid climate of our site in Phoenix are some of the harshest climates to which your products can be exposed. Often the best natural weathering test scenario requires testing in a variety of climates. For that reason, Atlas offers the world’s largest network of outdoor weathering test facilities with more than 20 sites worldwide.
