Description : The purpose of light fastness testing is principally to predict a material’s resistance to fading, yellowing or darkening. However, the test can also be employed to assess physical degradation such as cracking and shrinkage. Here it is common to carry out physical tests before and after exposure to determine the degree of degradation. This article covers only the subject of discolouration due to light.
