Leading the way in material characterization

Multi-Sample UV Irradiator <UV-1048E>
Multi-Sample UV Irradiator (UV-1048E) is an option for Micro UV Irradiator (UV-1047Xe). This system cansimultaneously irradiate a maximum of 18 polymer samples in the irradiation chamber for increased efficiency inaccelerated deterioration tests of polymer samples using UV/Py-GC/MS system.
The sample cup holder is rotated under the irradiation of UV light for uniformed irradiation. The temperature of polymer
samples are controllable from 40 to 80 ºC.

Features• Simultaneous irradiation of multiple samples
Up to 18 samples can be simultaneously irradiated by UV light .

• Small size and easy handlingThis bench-top size system offers simple and easy handling.

• EGA or flash pyrolysis of irradiated samples
Using UV/Py-GC/MS system, the irradiated polymer samples can beanalyzed by EGA (Evolved Gas Analysis) or Py-GC/MS analysis.

Operational procedure and system configuration< Operational procedure >1) Place a polymer sample in a sample cup and put it on the sample cup holder.
2) Set the irradiation intensity, time and the temperature. Start UV light irradiation.
3) Analyze the irradiated polymer samples using UV/Py-GC/MS system by EGA or Py-GC/MS analysis.

Upon UV irradiation, the thermal property of HIPS
changes as the peak shape of EGA thermograms
becomes broader by UV irradiation than thatwithout UV irradiation.
The peak shape of HIPS under 12 hours UVirradiation using UV-1048E is the same as that
under 1 hour UV irradiation using UV-1047Xe. Thisindicates that the rate of deterioration by UV1048E is about 1/10 of that by UV-1047Xe.
