Atlas Material Testing Technology, the global leader in accelerated weathering and lightfastness testing instruments and services for the textile industry, will present its Xenotest® 220andSUNTEST® CPS+ instruments at Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt, Germany, April 21-24 (Booth E81 in Hall 12.0).
At Techtextil, exhibitors from around the world will showcase the full spectrum of technical textiles, nonwovens, functional apparel textiles, and textile technologies.
Atlas weathering instruments simulate real-world exposure to sunlight, temperature, and moisture under accelerated conditions and provide an accurate assessment of color fastness and durability in a relatively short period of time. Furthermore, Atlas supports the development of truly eco‑friendly textiles by helping manufacturers avoid over‑engineering and unnecessary additives through reliable durability testing.
Xenotest® 220
Compact, yet capable of testing over 200 samples simultaneously, the Xenotest® 220 is a high-performance xenon-arc instrument ideal for textile weathering and lightfastness testing. Its advanced feature set includes:
WXView® II is Atlas’s advanced data acquisition and monitoring system designed to bring clarity, efficiency, and confidence to environmental testing operations. It remotely collects and displays test parameters, control system data, and instrument outputs from connected Atlas instruments - providing users with a single, consolidated view of their testing environment. Standard capabilities include:
The SUNTEST® CPS+ is a practical bench top instrument for color lightfastness testing of textiles. Its advanced feature set includes:
