How does a material test work?
When we conduct a material test, we test all the materials that come into contact with UVC light. The customer selects the materials they believe might be affected, but we are happy to advise on the selection.
We then expose the materials to an agreed amount of UVC, typically equivalent to what the materials would be exposed to over 10 years. Afterward, the customer receives the materials back so they—or their supplier—can check whether there are any issues.
If there are problems with the materials, we consider how to avoid them. The customer may choose to replace the materials or find a solution where the materials are shielded. We are, of course, happy to provide advice.
Why is a material test important?
UVC light solves a problem with bacteria and viruses, but at the same time, it can create problems with materials that break down if we are not careful. This could lead to contamination or toxic fumes, which we must avoid.
A material test is relevant for all companies using UVC light, as it provides assurance that UVC works as intended. Most of our customers in food production and pharma use a material test before implementing their UVC solution, but it is relevant for most businesses.
For some, it’s a matter of safety, while for others, it may simply be about whether the material changes color. All of this can be determined through a material test.
