• Automotive approvals for outdoor use are met

Environmental Test Results

Accelerated Aging, RS-4 Sunlighter with Water Spray: After 500 hours exposure in an ultra violet light and water spray apparatus, (estimated 3-5 years outdoor weather) specimens show no significant deterioration, increase in hardness, shrinkage or noticeable color or gloss change.

Outdoor Weathering: Samples show no appreciable discoloration or loss of gloss after 5 years outside.

Oven Aging: Specimens show no surface deterioration, shrinkage or increase in harness after seven days in a hot air circulating oven at 170º F.

Humidity: Specimens show no color or gloss change or objectionable shrinkage after seven days in a humidity cabinet with a condensing atmosphere at 100º F 100% R.H.

Salt Spray: Specimens show no charge or promotion of corrosion to the surface which they are mounted after 22 hours exposure to salt spray test.

Abrasion and Impact Resistance: Samples resist abrasion and impact down to -20º F. Forced indentations recover completely due to the resilient nature of the Polyurethane polymer.

Cleanability: Samples clean easily without marring using a detergent solution, aliphatic hydrocarbon or denatured alcohol.

Solvent Resistance: Samples show no discoloration after being immersed in unleaded gasoline ten times for ten seconds with a drying time of twenty seconds between immersions.

Chemical Resistance: Samples show no significant color change or swelling after five minute exposure to the following chemical solutions: 5% KOH; 5% NaCI; 5% KCI2; 20% H2SO4; 20% HCI.

Weathering Results

Method: Accelerated natural weathering. EMMAQUA natural light concentrating systems with water spray. Actual irradiation was measured and parts were returned at 278 MJ/M squared of UV (equivalent to 1 year south Florida) intervals. Exposure was conducted at DSET Laboratories in Phoenix, Arizona.
