This reference guide brings together a wide range of essential
data on the effects of weather and UV light exposure on plastics
and elastomers, enabling engineers to make optimal material choices
and design decisions. In both normal and extreme environments,
outdoor use has a variety of effects on different plastics and
elastomers, including discoloring and brittleness. The data is
supported by explanations of real-world engineering applications.
The data tables in this book are supported by examples of
real-world applications, enabling engineers and scientists to
select the right materials for a given situation, across a wide
range of sectors including construction, packaging, signage,
consumer (e.g. toys, outdoor furniture), automotiveand aerospace,
defense, etc.
The third edition includes new text chapters that provide the
fundamental knowledge required to make best use of the data. Author
Larry McKeen has also added detailed descriptions of the effect of
weathering on the most common polymer classes such as polyolefins,
polyamides, polyesters, elastomers, fluoropolymers, biodegradable
plastics, etc., making this book an invaluable design guide as well
as an industry standard data source.
