Testing PEX plastics: Oxygen, moisture, heat and other environmental factors

In addition to ultraviolet radiation and the action of microorganisms, there are other factors that cause degradation of polymers. Although most polymers are slowly reacts with oxygen, elevated temperatures and ultraviolet radiation can strongly accelerate the oxidation processes. Water has a relatively weak negative effect. Nevertheless, there are three different effects associated with the influence [...]
