Outdoor weathering area
On the roof of the GCC there is an outdoor weathering area, which is used to investigate aging processes in glass and glass products. The test area is divided into two sub-areas of 2.5 x 2.5 m each. Here, a wide variety of specimens can be stored for long periods and exposed to the weather in order to investigate aging-related processes.
