Atlas Online Weathering Academy Announces Free Seminars
MOUNT PROSPECT, IL — Investigating the weathering process of your product is an important part of determining its ability to withstand the natural forces that will occur in its lifetime. Atlas is offering, through its Atlas Online Weathering Academy (AOWA), a wide range of free online seminars on basic weathering and on advanced topics addressing specific weathering issues, technologies and applications. Each one-hour seminar is followed by a question-and-answer session. Multiple dates are available for convenient scheduling.
The “Accelerated Outdoor Weathering: EMMAQUA” seminar will review the applications and methodologies of accelerated outdoor weathering, including linear Fresnel-reflecting concentrators that follow the path of the sun and concentrate full-spectrum solar radiation onto the test specimen, and recently developed “cool mirrors,” which reflect UV and short-wave visible – but not infrared – to enable testing of temperature-sensitive materials. The seminar is offered Wednesday, June 23, at 11:00 a.m. EDT.
