A new weathering device was designed and constructed for conducting accelerated tests on coatings for life data analysis. The commercial device was equipped with eight separate thermally insulated chambers, where eight weathering tests can be carried out simultaneously. The following stress types important for polymer ageing can be controlled in the apparatus: UV, temperature, humidity and pollutants...
A model with three stress types, the temperature, UV and aerosol, for estimating the service life of organic coatings under service conditions has been proposed. The model has been applied to the estimation of the service life for aircraft coatings concerning loss of gloss. The results obtained from a unique natural exposure programme for a reference polyurethane coating have been compared with the...
