ASTM is seeking presentations for the Workshop on Weathering and Durability Testing 2019, which takes place June 26, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown, Colorado. The workshop is co-sponsored by the ASTM International committees on paint and related coatings, materials, and applications (D01) and weathering and durability (G03) and will be held in conjunction with the June standards development meetings of the committee.
The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of research, innovation and methodology for evaluating and quantifying materials durability to weathering for paints, plastics, textiles, automotive, fenestration, and other applications.
Presentation topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
· Characterization of material degradation during exposure testing;
· Developments in natural and artificial accelerated weathering test methods;
· Developments and innovations in weathering test apparatus;
· Studies correlating artificial and natural weathering;
· Service life prediction
Interested parties should present a 300-word abstract to Karen Murphy (kmurphy@astm.org) by Dec. 31, 2018. Authors will be notified by March 1, 2019.
For technical information or questions, contact the workshop co-chairs Matt McGreer(matt.mcgreer@ametek.com), Brad Reis (breis@q-lab.com), or David Burns (dmburns@mmm.com).
