UV stability of water-borne acrylic coatings
article
The photooxidative behaviour of three types of water-borne acrylic coating of different UV stability was investigated by applying methods which can measure oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during exposure. Reliable information about the relative UV stability of the investigated materials appeared to be provided very quickly. The early availability of such knowledge is attractive in the development stage of a product. By determining the effect of film thickness and pigmentation on the rate of photooxidation, the test methods were shown to be also very useful for the study of the kinetics of the ageing process. Such knowledge is essential for the reliable prediction of useful lifetimes of paint films in application conditions on the basis of results of accelerated ageing tests. © 1995.
