Materials and their Characteristics # 1982 York
Exposure df UPVC systems in storage and service leads to changes in physical properties with increased exposure periods. A programme of external exposure and artificial accelerated exposure has been undertaken and changes to surface gloss, low speed mechanical properties and colour development monitored.

The behaviour of UPVC pipes exposed to natural weathering for periods up to 51 months has been evaluated in terms of colour change, surface behaviour and low speed mechanical properties and the influence of CaCO,/Tj;0, substitution and gelation variations has been investigated within the programme. As part of a...
