The UA-EMMA testing device is used for advanced accelerated outdoor weathering. It provides 10-12 years of South Florida UV radiation exposure in a single year.
The ultra-accelerated EMMA device tracks the sun while concentrating reflected sunlight on test specimens mounted in a target area. UV-reflecting filters made by Prinz Optics allow very high concentrations of UV energy without excessive heating of the tested materials.
