Poor weather resistance of EAA
Problem Phenomenon
After 6 months outdoors, the mechanical properties of EAA decrease by 40-50%, surface cracking
Cause Analysis
The polyolefin backbone of EAA undergoes photo-oxidative degradation, molecular chains break; ultraviolet rays directly attack C-C bonds
Solution
1) UV-327 0.5-1wt% to absorb ultraviolet rays; 2) HALS-770 0.2-0.5wt% for light stabilization; 3) 1010+168 antioxidant 0.3wt% to prevent oxidation
Key Takeaway
Poor weather resistance is caused by photo-oxidation; UV+HALS+antioxidant triple protection is the key
