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 [...]

All components of solar radiation in one way or another, have harmful effects on the plastic. In the most severe degree of degradation occurs under the ultraviolet. The energy of ultraviolet radiation sufficient to break the inter atomic bonds. This effect on the macromolecules contributes thermal oxidant degradation, which leads to belittlement, fading colors and [...]

Climatic tests use plastic outdoor forced producers to pay more attention to the impact of the environment on the properties of PEX materials. Environmental factors have a tremendous negative impact on the appearance and properties of PEX plastics. The intensity of the destruction of the material in the open air is determined by such factors: [...]
