Poor weather resistance of PU
Problem Phenomenon
After 6 months outdoors, PU mechanical properties decrease 40-50%, surface cracks
Cause Analysis
Photo-oxidative degradation of PU polyolefin backbone, molecular chain breakage; ultraviolet rays directly attack C-C bonds
Solution
1) UV-327 0.5-1wt% to absorb ultraviolet; 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 key
