Weathering resistance in plastics refers to the material’s ability to withstand environmental exposure over time, including sunlight, moisture, and atmospheric conditions. Plastics with high weathering resistance are less prone to degradation, color fading, and loss of mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor elements. This property is crucial for applications like outdoor construction, automotive components, and UV-sensitive products, ensuring the longevity and performance of plastic materials in diverse weather conditions.
Polyram can evaluate weathering resistance using:
- Xenon test
- QUV
